The Duchess of Cambridge showed
how kind-hearted she is following the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.
The mother-of-three
shared a touching moment with Prince Charles after
the solemn ceremony in Windsor on 17 April.
In photos published, Kate was pictured
leaving the event at St George’s Chapel with her father-in-law when she sweetly gave him a kiss on the cheek.
As he walked in the procession behind his
father’s coffin, Prince Charles was emotional and at one point, a tear rolled
down his cheek. He was joined at the funeral by his wife, the Duchess of
Cornwall, as well as his sons.
In addition to
showing support to her father-in-law, Kate also paid tribute to the Queen in her exquisite choice of jewellery for
the sombre occasion.

The
Duchess wore a black face mask and an elegant black ensemble for the funeral
and had her hair tied back to show off the iconic Japanese Pearl Choker
necklace.
The
four-strand necklace with a central diamond clasp was specially commissioned by
the Queen from pearls given to her by the Japanese government.
Kate’s
late mother-in-law Diana memorably wore the beautiful necklace during a state
banquet for the Netherlands back in 1982.
The 39-year-old Duchess also wore the
stunning Bahrain Diamond and Pearl Drop earrings, which were given to the Queen
by the ruler of Bahrain in honour of her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947.
The
Duke of Edinburgh passed away at the age of 99 on 9 April. He and the Queen were
married for over 73 years, and shared four grandchildren, eight grandchildren
and ten great-grandchildren.
