After much speculation about what the Royal Family would wear to Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral, we now know that they opted to keep up traditions and wear black. Royals including Meghan Markle, Princess Kate and Princess Eugenie were also seen wearing, or carrying black gloves at the service this morning.
Whilst this accessory is not compulsory at such an event, it has been suggested that the women chose to wear the gloves as a touching nod to the late Queen, who was always spotted out with her signature pairs of gloves, which she wore for a number of reasons - including hygiene.
