The Duchess of Sussex showed up to the funeral Monday wearing the pearl-and-diamond drop earrings gifted to her by the Queen. The earrings were given in honor of the pair’s first solo outing together in 2018.

“The royal tradition of wearing pearls for mourning dates back to Queen Victoria, who was so overwhelmed with grief when Prince Albert died that she wore nothing but black for the rest of her life,” Maxwell Stone of UK jeweler Steven Stone previously told Page Six Style.

In a mournful nod to a happier time, Markle’s cape dress was the black version of a navy dress she wore to celebrate the Queen’s 92nd birthday at the Royal Albert Hall in 2018.

Kate Middleton made sure her outfit was full of symbolism Monday, donning Queen Elizabeth’s pearls and a black Alexander McQueen coat dress that was a black version of the same coat she wore for the Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.

The Princess of Wales had worn the same pearl earrings — which were a gift from the ruler of Bahrain to the Queen for her wedding in 1947 — to Prince Philip’s funeral.

Notably, she also wore the Queen’s four-row pearl choker with a diamond clasp.

The necklace was made from pearls which “were reportedly a gift from the Japanese government, possibly acquired during the 1970s, when she made a state visit to that nation,” according to The Court Jeweller.

Kate had worn than choker before — to a dinner celebrating the Queen and Prince Philip’s 70th year anniversary.

Queen Elizabeth was a known animal lover and was especially fond of horses.

It seemed to be a nod that Queen Elizabeth, whose reign last 70 years, served even longer than Victoria.
