Megan Markle donned pearl and diamond earrings to a service in honor of the late monarch in London on Wednesday, according to People.

Photographers snapped photos of the Duchess of Sussex wearing the earrings as the Queen's coffin was transferred from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.

The earrings were gifted to Markle by the Queen in 2018 to mark their first solo outing together.

A month after the "Suits" actress married Prince Harry, Markle joined the Queen on a royal outing to Chesire via the royal train. The two visited community leaders and watched a performance by local school children. Queen Elizabeth also donned a matching set of pearl earrings at the event.

Queen Elizabeth notably lent out and gifted jewelry to many female family members over the years.
