Veils, like pearls, have long been associated with royal mourning.
Like so many Windsor traditions, the practice of wearing veils at royal funerals is often traced back to Queen Victoria,’s great-great-grandmother, who famously wore mourning attire for the rest of her life after her beloved husband, Prince Albert, died of typhoid at the age of 42.

So-called widow’s weeds are a variation of monastic dress, including face coverings. Long worn by practising nuns, veils historically symbolised a mourner’s deep remove from everyday life, as well as her chastity and modesty .
