Queen Elizabeth and TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh have the same gold Launer handbag

Everyone wants to dress like royalty... including the cast of The Only Way Is Essex.

But while most might take their style cues from Meghan Markle or Kate Middleton - TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh is channelling Queen Elizabeth.

No, she didn’t wear one of ER's snazzy lime green frock coats. Instead, she opted for Launer London’s Judi handbag in the same metallic gold the Queen has also been spotted out and about with.

The influencer showed off her look on Instagram to her 1.4 million followers, tagging the brand. She was spotted carrying the bag during Milan Fashion Week at Elisabetta Franchetti's show. Mecklenburgh also has another block color bag by Launer that's she's shared pictures of on her account.

Queen Elizabeth wore hers with a hot pink gown when she hosted a private dinner at Windsor Castle. She usually opts for the bag in black, but as this was an evening event, she clearly decided to shimmer it up.

The Queen has been wearing Launer bags since 1968, and the brand holds a royal warrant.

The bag costs $1,998 (each one is handcrafted and takes almost a month to make) and while it appears that the gold is no longer on sale, there’s still plenty of colors, including a velvet burgundy and colour-blocked beauty to choose from.
