Meghan Markle wears earrings given to her by Queen for subtle but powerful gesture at Westminster

Meghan Markle paid tribute to the Queen in an understated but powerful fashion on Wednesday, as Her Majesty's coffin was taken to lay in state at Westminster Hall.

It had been six days since Queen Elizabeth had passed away at her much loved Scottish residence at Balmoral, at the age of 96.

One of the most heart-breaking moments so far has been the sight of Her Majesty's four children stood round her coffin at St Giles' Cathedral in the Scottish capital, before her body was flown back to London as a huge crowds braved the rain to watch her final trip home to Buckingham Palace, where members of the Royal Family gathered.
