Her Bahrain pearl drop earrings were made of pearls that were given to the Queen by the then Hakim of Bahrain on her wedding day in 1947. These are also a favourite of the Princess of Wales, who has worn them at events including Remembrance Sunday and the Royal Ascot.

The princess also wore a four-row pearl bracelet which was also from the treasures of the late Queen.

Prince Harry’s wife sported a pair of off-white pearls attached to a diamond stud. The Queen herself gave her the earrings, which she first wore in public in 2018. The Duchess of Sussex wore them on one of her first public appearances after her honeymoon, when she accompanied the late Queen for a day of engagements.

Zara, Princess Anne’s daughter and the Queen’s eldest granddaughter, also wore pearl drop earrings to her grandmother’s funeral.

The only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip was in her Royal Navy uniform for her mother's funeral and so wore only simple gold studs to her mother's funeral. She did, however, accompany the Queen's coffin as it was transported the week before from St Giles’ Cathedral in Scotland to London, wearing a pair of Grima pearl earrings given to her by her parents in the late 1960s. Andrew Grima created the earrings with a leaf-like motif using gold, pearls, and diamonds. Anne, then 19, wore them on her first royal tour of Australia with her mother, at her wedding to Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence in 1992, and at the funeral of her father, Prince Philip, in 2021.
