It is her latest tribute to the late monarch.
Princess Kate paid homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II while attending her funeral.
The Princess of Wales arrived for the state funeral service with her two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, all dressed in elegant mourning looks. Kate's ensemble consisted of a black coat dress, matching stockings, pointed-toe pumps, and a hat with a bow and netted veil in the front.
She accessorized with meaningful, classic jewels, including pearl drop earrings and a four-strand Japanese pearl choker necklace with a diamond center that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.
Princess Diana also previously wore the choker.
