Meghan Markle wore earrings gifted to her by the Queen during a service honoring the late monarch
  • Meghan Markle paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth on Wednesday during a service in London.
  • The Duchess donned pearl and diamond drop earrings that she received from the Queen in 2018.

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.

On Monday, Queen Consort Camilla wore a brooch gifted to her by the late monarch at a Service of Thanksgiving for the Queen. The brooch originally belonged to the Queen Mother and was inherited by Queen Elizabeth in 2002 after her passing.

On Tuesday, Princess Anne wore a pair of pearl and gold earrings in Scotland as the Queen's coffin was carried out of St. Giles' Cathedral and prepped for its flight to London. The earrings were a gift from her parents in the 1960s, and she wore the same pair to her father's funeral in 2021, according to Woman & Home.

During the coffin procession in London, Kate Middleton also wore one of Queen Elizabeth's accessories to honor her late grandmother-in-law. The Princess of Wales donned a pearl shamrock brooch that belonged to the Queen and was given to the monarch during a trip to South Korea in 1999, according to People.

The procession of the Queen's casket followed a route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall Wednesday, as the royal family walked behind to honor the late monarch. The coffin will lie at Westminster Hall for five days where the public can pay their respects until the Queen's funeral on September 19.
