16 Times the Royal Family Paid Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II Through Fashion

Markle and Queen Elizabeth II attended the official opening of the new Mersey Gateway Bridge followed by lunch at Chester Town Hall on June 14, 2018, marking the duchess's first solo engagement without Prince Harry. While Markle stuck to her signature style in a cream Givenchy caped dress, a black clutch, and Sarah Flint pumps, it was her pearl earrings that took the spotlight. They were a gift from the queen, who presented them to her in the car earlier that morning, as revealed later in an Oprah Winfrey interview. While smaller in size than the pair worn by the queen, the look was known to be favored by the monarch, as she told the BBC that "pearls like to be living creatures."
