Pearls have long been symbols of mourning and many members of the Royal Family have worn them since the Queen’s passing.

Meghan’s diamond and pearl earrings were reportedly a gift from the Queen back in 2018.

The Duchess of Sussex had previously worn the earrings during a service for the Queen last week.

Royal fans watching the funeral service praised Meghan over her “elegant” and “simple” outfit.

“Meghan’s hat is lovely simple but very elegant,” a fourth tweeted.

In addition, another gushed: “Meghan Markle is so beautiful.”

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are incredible. I started crying the moment the choir started singing.

However, some people disagreed with the decision to have George and Charlotte walk in the procession.

One said: “Did they learn nothing from William and Harry’s experience? It’s not so much the walking behind the coffin but that it’s in front of millions and presumably there will be no arm of comfort around them!”

Another wrote: “I think it’s too young to attend, full stop.”

However, a third tweeted: “They were clearly very close to the Queen & should have the right to be part of it if they want to.”
