Attending the emotional event with Prince Harry, Meghan opted for a glittering pair of pearl-and-diamond drop earrings gifted to her by the Queen in honour of her first royal engagement. She coordinated the jewellery with an all-black cape sleeve dress from Stella McCartney and a matching wide-brimmed Dior hat.
