Markle wore pearl and diamond earrings that were given to her by Queen Elizabeth II as a gift. Wearing pearls is part of the mourning tradition in the UK. White pearls are considered to denote purity and represent tears.
When it came to footwear, Markle continued for additional formality with a set of black pumps. Her style featured pointed suede uppers that matched her tights and suit, complete with stiletto heels totaling at least 3 inches in height.
