This TOWIE star and the Queen have the same handbag

Who would have thought it?

So, we all know that the Queen is a style icon in her own right. Her Majesty regularly rocks the colour block trend, enjoys statement brooches, loves her a Burberry scarf and even wore the horsebit loafer look long before Gucci made them cool again. But we can't imagine that a reality-star-turned-fitness-entrepreneur would look to the royal for fashion inspiration - until now. We spied gorgeous former TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh at Milan Fashion Week, rocking Launer London's Judi handbag in gold - the very same metallic number the Queen also has. Yes, really! The £1,170 arm candy has a super soft suede interior, iconic clasp lock and an extra-long shoulder strap. Each bag is extra-special because they are handcrafted and take almost 4-weeks to produce. So extra!

Lucy also wore a colour pop bag by the brand on her travels

Even though the company is synonymous with the monarch, they have the most incredible selection of designs in a multitude of colours and sizes.
