A suspended, dignified and chic moment! Expected for one of the most important tribute ceremonies to Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Hall on Wednesday, Meghan Markle was very solemn, all dressed in black. Sober, but perfectly in tune, especially in front of her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, very touched, the American played her role perfectly, she who had not appeared in an official ceremony since last June, for the Jubilee.
However, her look scrutinized by the experts surprised: in addition to her earrings offered by Elizabeth II, the Duchess has only used pieces that have already been worn! And especially her long Givenchy coat raven color that we discovered in 2019, open on a black dress and pink pumps. If it is not known, this Wednesday, which dress she wore under her coat, her pumps, meanwhile, were signed Paul Andrew and had also already served, just like her little Loewe bag.
Wearing a fascinator, as is traditional for important events in the United Kingdom, she has in any case once again marked the spirits with a very classy stylelike other women in the family, including Kate Middleton, whose Alexander McQueen coat was new and who wore Lady Diana’s jewels, but also like Sophie of Wessex and Queen Consort Camilla.
It was also with them that she went from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall: while their husbands followed the queen’s coffin on foot, the four women benefited from a vehicle and found them only at the time of the short religious ceremony. A service marked by the superb bows made in front of the coffin by the two sisters-in-law, as a beautiful tribute. But also by a tender gesture from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle which completely broke the protocol!
Indeed, while all the couples were standing, side by side, for the office, the youngest son of King Charles III and his wife held hands to exit the building, as they regularly do. A gesture that no other couple could afford: indeed, the protocol prohibits members of the royal family from gestures of intimacy like this or even a chaste kiss.
Meghan Markle is now expected at the official funeral of Queen Elizabeth II this Monday, September 19like the entire royal family and many representatives of all countries, including French President Emmanuel Macron and American President Joe Biden.
