“Her Majesty is an incredibly humble woman at heart who is unlikely to be dressed in anything but her simple Welsh gold wedding band to rest and a pair of pearl earrings.”

Levinson further added that her daughter, 72-year-old Princess Anne, will likely inherit the engagement ring of Queen Elizabeth II.

According to People, only Princess Anne and King Charles III made it in time to be at the queen’s side as she passed on at Balmoral in Scotland since they were already carrying out engagements there earlier that week.
