Princess Charlotte paid tribute to her “Gan Gan” at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral today.
The 7-year-old royal — who reportedly shares the late monarch’s love of horses — wore a diamond brooch in the shape of a horseshoe, a piece allegedly a gift from Queen Elizabeth, according to People.
The late monarch, who died on September 8 at the age of 96, was known for her love of horses and rode well into her 90s.
It was a glimpse into the future of the young princess’ style and it was the first time we saw Charlotte wearing a brooch or important piece of jewelry.
Princess Charlotte, who joined her brother Prince George for the funeral, looked grown up in an elegant black Jane Taylor boater with a bow at the back.
She added a black coat from the Spanish children’s clothing label Ancar, black tights and black dress shoes.
Charlotte walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey with her parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, who were recently given the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
While the young royal chose a diamond brooch in honor of the late sovereign, her mother chose Queen Elizabeth’s pearls and a black Alexander McQueen gown for the occasion — a black version of the same coat she wore to her platinum anniversary this summer. – along with a dramatic black veiled hat.
