Meghan Markle, duch*ess of Sussex, wore pearl earrings gifted by Queen Elizabeth II at the late monarch's state funeral in a touching tribute that she shared with Catherine, Princess of Wales

Meghan Markle, duch*ess of Sussex, paid a subtle tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at her state funeral with pearl earrings given to her by the late monarch.
Attending the emotional event with Prince Harry, Meghan opted for a glittering pair of pearl-and-diamond drop earrings gifted to her by the Queen in honour of her first royal engagement. She coordinated the jewellery with an all-black cape sleeve dress from Stella McCartney and a matching wide-brimmed Dior hat.
Meghan first debuted the earrings back in 2018 when she visited Chester to open the new Mersey Gateway Bridge.
Opting for minimalist-minded accessories, Meghan paired the pearls with her favourite CartierLove bracelet in yellow gold and her stacked diamond wedding bands, ensuring the beautiful earrings truly stood out.
