The Duchess of Sussex arrived at Westminster Abbey this morning looking sublimely chic in black caped Stella McCartney dress and large black hat.
The high neck dress, which retails for £1,439, hit well below the knee, meaning it satisfied the royal dress code which stipulates ladies wear black knee-length dresses or coats.
It also carried significance in that it was a black version of the same dress that she had worn to attend a concert marking the Queen’s 92nd birthday at the Royal Albert Hall back in April 2018. It can be no coincidence that Meghan chose to wear the same silhouette, just this time in mournful black, to bid her final farewell to the Queen.
Meghan accessorised the look with black tights, black suede pointy court shoes and black suede gloves. Royal dress code decrees that women may choose to wear a veil or face covering, but Meghan opted instead for an elegant wide-brimmed hat which she paired with simple pearl jewellery, the stone traditionally associated with mourning.
Meghan arrived with Prince Harry in a car behind King Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
