The Queen to be laid to rest wearing only two precious pieces of jewellery
Her Majesty, who will be buried next to her husband Prince Philip later today, will wear only her wedding band and a pair of pearl earrings, despite owning a collection worth millions of pounds.
The Queen's final outfit has not yet been revealed, but observers last week speculated she could be laid to rest in a simple, regal set of clothes befitting her status. "Her Majesty is an incredibly humble woman at heart who is unlikely to be dressed in anything but her simple Welsh gold wedding band to rest and a pair of pearl earrings," Ms Levinson said.
The royal family, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will be among the 2,000 people gathered at Westminster Abbey to remember the late monarch on Monday morning, before a committal service at Windsor Castle.Play VideoThey will walk in procession behind the Queen's coffin as it is carried through the Gothic church by the military bearer party.
