A royal dress code is to always have a small bag when you are out. That way they can shake hands, or not if they don’t want to. In that case, they hold their bag with both hands. Small bags are also handy when there is an uncomfortable situation, regarding their outfits, and the bag helps them cover things up, like when they are exiting a car.
