Royal family members are continuing to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II with their fashion choices.

Monday, at the funeral for the 96-year-old queen, who died on Sept. 8, Kate, the Princess of Wales, accented her somber black outfit with a pearl choker necklace that belonged to Elizabeth.

In addition to being worn by the queen and Kate, the four-strand diamond and pearl choker is also one that was worn previously by the late Princess Diana.

Kate previously wore the same necklace to Prince Philip's funeral last year.

The queen was married to Philip for over 70 years at the time of his death.

Kate's daughter, Princess Charlotte -- who attended the funeral with her older brother, Prince George -- wore a horseshoe brooch given to her by the queen, whose love of horses was well-known.
