While President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife and wife attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II of England, Kim Kun-hee wore a black mesh veil.
On the 18th local time, Ms. Geon-hee Kim said that when she attended her funeral mass for Queen Elizabeth II, she was wearing a black dress with a Taegeukgi badge and a hat with a black mesh po veil.
Some netizens claimed that she was not appropriate for Ms. Kim to wear a veil, and she said that the veil was an item that could only be worn by the royal family.
On the other hand, there was an opinion that it is not disrespectful to wear a black veil as a mourning for the deceased, as it originated from the practice of wearing a black veil to cover the swollen eyes of the wife or the bereaved family who had sent her husband.
In fact, at the funeral mass that day, it was confirmed that not only Kim but also Brigitte, wife of French President Macron, and Micheli, wife of Brazilian President Bolsonaro were wearing black veils.
