Kate Middleton also wore a pearl necklace to the funeral that once belonged to the queen, according to Today. Another personal tribute came from Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, who wore earrings that, according to People, were also gifted to her by the queen. Meghan attended the funeral alongside her husband, Prince Harry, though royal observers noted they were seated in the second row, while William and Kate sat in the front row.
Queen Elizabeth's funeral was held at Westminster Abbey on Monday after she lay in state at Westminster Hall for several days, leading members of the public to form massive lines to pay their respects.
