On Tuesday, September 13, several family members welcomed the coffin of Elizabeth II, who arrived from Edinburgh, to Buckingham Palace. The opportunity for Kate Middleton to pay him a subtle tribute.

It is a grieving but close-knit royal family that has been showing itself in public for several days. On September 8, Elizabeth II died “peacefully” at the age of 96 at his castle in Balmoral, Scotland. During seventy years of reign, she accompanied the British who are now numerous to pay homage to her and to follow for several days the processions organized until her funeral, which will take place on Monday September 19 in the abbey of Westminster, London. After being displayed in Edinburgh, the Queen’s coffin arrived in London on Tuesday, September 13, before being transported to Buckingham Palace, from where it will be transported to Westminster Hall, where Londoners can come gather. Escorted by Princess Anne, the lead-lined coffin was greeted by King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, along with several members of the Royal Family.

Among them, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who was both snubbed and welcomed with open arms to Windsor by the British, but also Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton. Appearing in a car that took the couple to the Royal Palace in London, the Princess of Wales appeared very moved, all dressed in black, with special jewelry. In homage to Elizabeth II, she had chosen a three-row pearl necklace as well as pearl earringscan we see on the pictures revealed by the DailyMail. If we can see a subtle nod to the queenwho appreciated them to the point of being buried with a pair of pearl earrings, it is above all a tradition dating back to Queen Victoria, who wanted members of the royal family to wear them during periods of mourning.

During the funeral wake organized in Edinburgh, the wife of Charles III wore a diamond brooch worn on her black outfit, which had been given to her by her mother-in-law in person. A jewel that belonged to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the sovereign’s mother, who often wore it during her official engagements by attaching it to her hat. Last queen consort before Camilla inherited the title, at the request of Elizabeth II, she bequeathed it to her eldest daughter on her death in 2002, before she passed it on to her daughter-in-law who first wore it in 2015.
