Almost everyone was there, including the new King Charles III, Queen consort Camilla, Princes William and Harry, their wives Catherine, Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle and some of the younger members of the royal family. Prince George and Princess Charlotte. And while they all wore black or navy blue for the somber occasion, their attire also included several subtle tributes to the late queen. Getty Going into the event, there was a lot of talk about what Harry would wear, as Buckingham Palace confirmed that only working royals with military rank would wear their military dress for the many events leading up to and including the funeral itself. While that included King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince William — who wore military fatigues to Monday’s proceedings — it excluded both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew. Instead, the pair wore black, with a rep for Harry announcing that he would be wearing a “morning suit to all events in honor of his grandmother”. Getty Harry’s wife Markle wore a black cape dress and matching hat for the event, but accessorized with jewels honoring the Queen. The pearl and diamond earrings she wore at the funeral were a gift from Elizabeth II, who presented them to Markle in 2018 during their first and only engagement. Meghan and Harry’s children, Archie and Lilybet, did not attend. Getty Markle’s sister-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales, also wore an all-black ensemble, which included a brimmed hat with a lace veil, to the funeral. Her jewelry paid tribute to both Elizabeth and William’s late mother, Princess Diana. The choker necklace and earrings were both from the Queen’s collection — and the necklace was also previously worn by Diana for a royal event in 1982. Getty William and Kate’s daughter Charlotte also appeared to honor the Queen with her accessories, wearing a horseshoe brooch seen as a tribute to Elizabeth’s love of horses. It’s also a big deal that the 7-year-old royal wore a black hat to the event, the first time she’s worn it for a public appearance. George, meanwhile, wore a navy suit — which, being a dark color, is still considered a respectable funeral. Their younger brother Prince Louis, 4, did not attend.
