Queen Elizabeth has been carrying Launer handbags since before Beyonce knew what a Birkin was, so it’s only right they make a commemorative one!

And of course it's boosting their profits.

The silver diamond edition jubilee bag has been flying off the shelves in the US and overseas since May, causing sales to jump by 55% since June!

Every year the Queen has four handbags made especially for her, with specific requirements, so no wonder she totes them around everywhere she goes!

The purses are so simple and chic, we can totally see why they sell like hotcakes, even if Queen Liz wasn’t holding one!

Get outta her way! Flawless individual coming through!

Kylie Minogue was dressed to the nines last night and for a very good reason: she was performing for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II!

The Aussie pop star sparkled just as bright if not brighter than the Crown Jewels when she took the stage at the Royal Variety Performance in a dazzling Julien Macdonald gown featuring sheer panels and a thigh-high slit.

Matching Giuseppe Zanotti heels and gorgeous earrings completed Kylie's royally smashing ensemble.

All we can say is 'wow'.

Ch-ch-check out the impressed-ness (below)!

It’s about time!

Essie has finally perfected six nail polishes that are inspired by two very important royal ladies - Queen Elizabeth and Kate Middleton!

Creator, Essie Weingarten explained the colors, saying:

“It’s one part Queen Elizabeth, two parts Duchess of Cambridge. They don’t mince words and never mince color. I just love the elegant simplicity of a saturated, vibrant look. It’s so luxe, yet so easy to put together.”

The colors have the cutest names too: a classic cardinal red She's Pampered, a bright orange Snap Happy, a turquoise Where's My Chauffeur?, sparkling Beyond Cozy, a cobalt blue Butler, Please and a crimson Leading Lady.

You can get all of these in November for $8 each! Good thing people only have to wait a little while because they're so great!

The Queen isn’t the only one who can boost a brand’s appeal!

Thanks to Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, Alexander McQueen claimed a 27 percent sales increase for 2011.

And that’s only for the stores in Britain, Italy and the US!

The Duchess of Cambridge’s beautiful dress obviously wasn’t the only reason for upping sales, but it certainly helped the fashion house get massive exposure worldwide.

Their profits even put the British fashion house ahead of Stella McCartney!

We're glad that everything has picked up for the brand, and that Sarah Burton has done such a good job of carrying the torch.

Apparently causing a fashion buzz comes with the royal territory!

When Queen Elizabeth carried three Launer London handbags during the Diamond Jubliee festivities, the company got lots of new business!

In spite of the fact that their website crashed, due to the high amount of traffic, they saw sales of Her Majesty's handbag styles increase 58%.

Launer’s managing and creative director Gerald Bodmer said:

"The royal family still means huge business for the UK, and there is still a big international appetite for any and all things associated with royalty. What we have seen here is more requests in trend-led designs, with customers seeking to put their own stamp on our signature bags.”

The Duchess of Cambridge better look out because it seems like there's still a Queen of trendsetting in the fam!

Kate Middleton is recycling another look again!

On Wednesday the Duchess of Cambridge joined her hubby Prince William and Queen Elizabeth at the Nottingham Station in the same sky blue Missoni coat she wore to an event back in March.

Kate did spruce up her deja vu ensemble with black LK Bennett pumps, a Rachel Trevor Morgan hat and a quilted Jaeger purse.

We praise Middleton for wearing things more than once, but with all these public appearances, she should really leave the clothes on the hanger for a while. Right, Kelly?

YES YES YES.

Inkhosikati LaMbikiza, one of the first ladies of land-locked African nation Swaziland, graced Queen Elizabeth II's Armed Forces Parade and Muster at Home Park in Windsor on Saturday as she was lookin' FIERCE!

For the royal occasion, King Mswati III's wife #3 was rockin' a minty green, fluttery-flowered suit with matching head-piece like it was nobody's business.

LOVES IT! Take that royal fashion to its ridiculous conclusion!
