Princess Charlotte, the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex each expressed a sweet tribute to Queen Elizabeth II during her funeral Monday morning by wearing outfits that paid homage to the late monarch.

Charlotte, seven years old, wore a hat for the first time, marking a grown-up gesture to her great-grandmother.
