On Saturday, the British Royal Family gathered at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle to lay to rest Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.
The Duke who passed away peacefully last Thursday at the age of 99 was farewelled in an intimate service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Dean of Windsor, who spoke of the “unwavering support” Philip gave the Queen over their 73-year marriage.
Due to the public health guidelines, some elements of the funeral plan had been modified, although the day was still be very much in keeping with the Duke's wishes. You can read more about the funeral service via the royal.uk website.
The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at Windsor Castle with Prince William in a chauffeured Range Rover. Kate wore a black dress with an asymmetric neckline. It appears to be the Roland Mouret Asymmetric Neck Dress which she first wore in 2018 for the Festival of Remembrance (shown below).
Prior to the service, the Duchess put on an a-line black coat featuring a large bow at the neckline.
Kate's jewellery consisted of sentimental pieces belonging to Her Majesty.
The necklace is the Four Row Pearl Choker. You may recall Kate wearing this necklace for a private dinner at Windsor Castle in 2017, celebrating the Queen and Prince Philip’s 70th wedding anniversary.
The Duchess complemented the stately choker with the Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings.
Kate wore her hair in an elaborate chignon and brought back the Philip Treacy hat first worn for Remembrance Sunday in 2019.
The Duchess carried her black Jimmy Choo 'Celeste' velvet clutch and on her feet were the Gianvito Rossi 105 suede pumps.
The mask appears to be the black Amaia Duke/Duchess cotton face mask.
May His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh rest in peace.

Totally agree with all comments, especially Catherine. I always comment on her perfection with make up and hair, etc but this time she really did look perfect. I loved the black tie coat. Sorry it was a sombre occasion, my condolences to the Duke, Duchess and family.

Until I read your column, I didn't appreciate there was a separate dress underneath the Catherine Walker coatdress. It all fits so well on Duchess Catherine. She looks supremely elegant and the total look is truly befitting of this sombre occasion. Jewellery, coat, mask, shoes and clutch have all been chosen with care and together she delivers a compelling and unforgettable look
