    The queen, being the queen, was willing to wield the sword two-handed but not to put down her handbag.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1403591864100470784 …

    Queen Elizabeth II insisted on cutting a cake using a ceremonial sword at an event on the sidelines of the G7 summit. When told there was a knife available instead, the monarch replied, “I know there is! This is something that is more unusual.” https://abcn.ws/3pJnOtD  pic.twitter.com/LCd8sHdGnz

        It's so strange that she even feels the need to carry a handbag. What could she possibly keep in there? Her wallet?

        The Queen once again shows us how much of an Edge Lord She really is.

        I love this extended video where we get to see the officer handing the Queen his sword to cut the cake! #TheQueen

        It's simply good form, a sword is a defensive weapon used to block while a handbag is an offensive weapon used to inflict blows.

        But why does she turn it upside-down? She ends up trying to cut it with the flat edge, right?

        Would help if she used the sharp side to cut.

        She won't trust the launch codes to anyone else.
