Meghan paid homage to the late queen by carefully selecting an outfit with a sentimental connection to Her Majesty. She wore a black Stella McCartney cape dress - a style she originally wore in navy for the Queen's 92nd birthday celebration in 2018.

The Duchess chose a black Dior X Stephen Jones Wide Brim Crin Hat - a style she first wore in griege straw for the Queen's Platinum Jubliee earlier this year.

During the period of mourning, Meghan has been wearing a pair of diamond & pearl earrings gifted to her by the late Queen in 2018 on the occasion of their first joint engagement together.

Queen Elizabeth II often wore a similar pair of studs, and in the final photo released of Her Majesty to commemorate her State Funeral, she is seen wearing the signature pearl earrings.

Meghan refined the somber look with long black gloves, reportedly by Valentino (unconfirmed).
