On Monday, September 19, the royal family gathered for a state funeral at Westminster Abbey to commemorate the life and reign of the late monarch, who died on September 8 at the age of 96. At the end of the service, the Duchess of Sussex, who was seen wiping away a tear, stood outside Westminster Abbey alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort and the Princess of Wales. The latter was joined by her and Prince William’s two older children, Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven. As the group stood together, Charlotte, who was standing at the front, was seen turning briefly to look at her aunt. Megan caught her niece’s eye and offered her a brief smile. For the somber occasion, Princess Charlotte wore an all-black outfit that matched her mother’s, while the seven-year-old paid tribute to her great-grandmother with a horseshoe-shaped pin attached to her dress. The Duchess of Sussex paid tribute to the Queen through her classy choices, with Meghan opting for a knee-length black cape dress by Stella McCartney and a black hat for the funeral. The choice of dress was notable as the Duchess previously wore a navy blue version of the dress to a concert celebrating the Queen’s 92nd birthday at the Royal Albert Hall in April 2018. As well as connecting with the monarch through her sartorial choice, Meghan also wore a pair of pearl and diamond earrings gifted to her by the Queen.
