Why are UK royals wearing pearls at the funeral?
Both Kate Middleton and Meghan wore pearl jewellery at the Queen's funeral. While Elizabeth II's love for the gem is known, legend has it that the erstwhile Queen Victoria wore nothing but black clothes and pearls for 40 years following her husband’s death.

The Royal Vault where the Queen will be laid to rest
The Royal Vault, which days back to the 15th Century, is a burial chamber located 16 feet beneath St. George’s Chapel. The excavation and building of the vault were ordered in 1804 by King George III; its construction was completed in 1810.
It was designed as the final resting place for members of the royal family.

Queen's coffin passes Royal Parks
This procession for the Queen’s coffin is marching between two of London's Royal Parks en route to Wellington Arch.
UK and the world bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth II on Monday at a state funeral attended by world leaders, before a historic last ceremonial journey through the streets of London packed with sorrowful mourners.
Huge crowds gathered in near silence to watch as the queen’s flag-draped coffin, topped with the Imperial State Crown, her orb and sceptre, was carried slowly to a gun carriage from parliament’s Westminster Hall where it had lain in state since Wednesday.
To the tune of pipes and drums, the gun carriage — used at every state funeral since Queen Victoria’s in 1901 — was then drawn by 142 junior enlisted sailors in the Royal Navy to Westminster Abbey.
The thousand-year-old church’s tenor bell tolled 96 times at one-minute intervals — one for every year of her life — stopping a minute before the service began.
In his funeral sermon, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby praised the queen’s life of duty and service to the UK and Commonwealth.
