Meghan Markle paid tribute to the Queen by arriving for Monday's state funeral wearing stunning pearl earrings gifted to her by Her Majesty and wearing an outfit similar to the one she wore for the Platinum Jubilee just a few months ago.
Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, joined other members of the Royal Family as millions of viewers laid their eyes on live coverage from Westminster Abbey for the huge event. Husband Prince Harry joined relatives like Prince William and King Charles III to walk behind the Queen's coffin as it made the journey to the historic Abbey from Westminster Hall, where she had been lying in state since Wednesday.
Droves of people queued up for hours to file past Her Majesty's coffin and there were large crowds on the streets of the capital as a procession signalled the start of the occasion. Meghan was with other members of the Royal Family as the Queen's coffin was carried into the Abbey, with the Prince Royal, Duke of York and Prince George and Princess Charlotte among the others who followed it.

And, just like she did when she was beside Prince Harry for a service at Westminster Hall on Wednesday afternoon, Meghan wore the earrings that Queen Elizabeth gave her on the occasion of their first public outing together in 2018, when they took the train to Cheshire to meet community leaders and watch a performance from local school children.
Meghan's earrings from the Queen accessorised a striking funeral look, which saw her don a large black hat, cape and gloves, in a similar look to the white ensemble she wore for the Platinum Jubilee in June.
Sharing a photo of Meghan from the Queen's funeral, one Twitter user heaped praise on the Duchess, reacting: "Meghan Markle slayed today. The earrings were gifted by the Queen. Minimalist understated elegance. She ain't a Duchess for no reason!!"
In firm agreement, another clear fan of Meghan posted: "Seriously, the cape dress, the hat, the gloves, and the earrings. Everything about this Meghan look is fire."
Nothing the likeness of Meghan's hat to the one she wore just a few months for the Jubilee festivities, another viewer tweeted: "Same hat? I love all the little tributes to QE. From the earrings she gifted to Meghan, to the hat worn at her Jubilee celebration."
