Pondering the fruity secrets of the Princess Royal’s handbag

I keep a packet of Rennie discreetly tucked into the side pocket of my handbag for those times when I’ve eaten lunch too quickly (almost every day), along with hundreds of old receipts, loose pieces of gum, umpteen hair ties – although I can never find one when I need it – and the odd plastic spoon from Pret. For Princess Anne, it’s a kiwi. Not a New Zealander. They wouldn’t fit in there. No, a kiwi fruit. Her daughter, Zara, has revealed that her mother always carries one for whe she needs an emergency sugar hit. I love this, but would a handbag banana not be more practical? How does she manage to eat the kiwi? Does she also carry a small knife and a spoon? Is it chopped up in advance? Or does she eat it like an apple? I’m very keen to know.
