The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, along with Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, made a striking appearance at Prince Philip's funeral. Kate Middleton wore an elegant black coat designed by Catherine Walker, paired with a Japanese pearl necklace which she previously wore at the 70th anniversary dinner of the Queen and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle in 2017, and which was also worn by the late Princess Diana in 1982. The Queen had lent the pearl necklace to Princess Diana for a banquet hosted by Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus of the Netherlands at Hampton Court Palace during the Dutch royal family's visit to the UK, marking one of her first royal engagements a year after her marriage to Prince Charles.
Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie, daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, donned a black dress valued at £5,690 ($7,000) for the funeral, letting her hair fall in natural waves over her shoulders. Complementing her look with high-heeled shoes, Eugenie completed her sober appearance with a charming black hat while carrying a handbag, believed to be Diana's.
Princess Beatrice wore a long collared coat and a rounded hat adorned with a large black bow, while Sophie, Countess of Wessex, looked equally elegant in an ankle-length black coat from Suzannah London and high-heeled shoes as they entered the church.
Camilla, wife of Prince Charles and mother-in-law of Prince Philip, was seen wearing a black coat as she accompanied her husband to the funeral at St. George's Chapel, enhanced by a stunning memorial brooch. Additionally, the Queen brought her diamond brooch inherited from her grandmother, Queen Mary. This brooch, a gift from the city of Richmond for her wedding in 1893 to King George V, features silver and gold-set diamonds in a swirling design surrounding a central pearl, complemented by a pearl and diamond necklace, according to the Daily Mail.
