Making a fashion statement at a state funeral is a delicate task, but some attendees of the
late Queen Elizabeth II's funeral pulled it off — and paid subtle tribute to the late monarch.
Zara Tindall, the daughter of Princess Anne and the oldest granddaughter of the late queen,
wore a subtle but well-chosen outfit. According to Hello!,
she wore a black coat dress from Laura Green London, along with suede heels by Emmy London
and classic pearl drop earrings. The most striking part of her outfit was a
Juliette Millinery fascinator, which featured a black flower appliqué.
Princess Beatrice, the late queen's granddaughter,
brought some modernity to the State Funeral with a black dinner jacket-style blazer by The Kooples
paired with a knee-length Louis Vuitton lace dress, known as the Preppy Martingale Dress,
according to Hello!. She also wore a small round black fascinator to finish off the look.
Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice's sister, also looked fashionable at her grandmother's funeral.
She wore a long black coat dress with a collared V-neck and large gold buttons. Her structured
wide-brimmed hat and her Gabriela Hearst Diana bag finished off the classic, sophisticated look,
according to Metro. She opted for simple gold earrings to match with her coat and bag.
While Prince Harry wore his military uniform to his grandmother's vigil the
day before the funeral, he opted for a morning suit consisting of
a black jacket and gray pinstripe trousers for the funeral itself.
"Today, for the actual service, he's back in morning suit."
Harry was stripped of his military titles when he gave up his position in the Firm.
He did, however, wear his medals from his time in service at the funeral.
A spokesperson for Harry told The Independent of his decision to wear a morning suit,
"His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we
respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."
Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, the wife of the late Queen Elizabeth II's youngest son,
Prince Edward, looked gorgeous at the State Funeral. She wore a traditional
flared black coat dress covered in a delicate embroidered floral pattern. She paired the coat
with a dramatic black fascinator with a floral appliqué and black suede pumps.
Prince George, the eldest son of Prince William and Princess Catherine,
looked all grown up at his great-grandmother's funeral as he walked behind her coffin.
As the Liverpool Echo reported, his suit slightly broke with tradition as
it was navy rather than black. The young prince did, however, wear a black tie.
Queen Consort Camilla's outfit at the late queen's funeral certainly turned heads.
She wore a fitted black coat dress that featured embroidered lines on the cast and a round collar.
Her striking black fascinator featured a swooping line of leaf appliqués and a netted veil.
The most important part of the outfit was her diamond brooch,
which, as Harper's Bazaar reported, was likely a gift from the late queen.
Princess Anne, the late Queen's only daughter, broke with royal tradition
in a wonderful way at her mother's funeral when she became the first royal woman in history
to appear at a funeral in military attire. Even though Anne never actively served in the military,
she is a patron of the Royal Navy and holds the title of Commodore-in-Chief for Portsmouth,
as well as being an honorary Rear Admiral.
The young Princess Charlotte, daughter of Prince William and Princess Catherine, wore a classic
outfit to her great-grandmother's funeral that consisted of a sweet pleated wool and velvet
black coat dress and a wide-brimmed hat. As the Express noted, the young princess very closely
matched her mother. According to People, Charlotte also wore a delicate diamond horseshoe brooch that
was given to her by her late great-grandmother as her first real piece of jewelry.
Princess Catherine, always applauded for her fashion, didn't disappoint with her chic,
simple funeral outfit. The Princess of Wales wore a fitted blazer dress along with a tilted
wide-brimmed black hat with a netted veil. According to Elle, she also donned a pearl
necklace and pearl earrings that were once worn by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
Meghan Markle hasn't always had an easy time in the United Kingdom, but at the late queen's
funeral, she struck the perfect balance of modern fashion and traditional elegance.
Her chic, minimalist outfit consisted of a flowing Stella McCartney cape dress, along with pearl and
diamond earrings that were a gift from the late queen. According to the Independent,
Meghan wore a navy version of the same dress to the queen's birthday party in 2018.
