The veil is about Jesus.
In the Old Testament the Holy of Holies was veiled.
This is where our tradition of veiling Holy things began.
Hebrews 9:1-8

The tabernacle candle is a sign of that presence.

The difficulty is that when the sacred mysteries are unveiled, they lose their sacred character.
Tradition teaches us
that “a mystery
—the tremendum
—in order to be a mystery, needs to be hidden, so that we may long for it to be revealed.”

Vatican II made wearing the veil optional.

In a world filled with distractions, the simple act of covering one's head can create a sacred space for prayer and contemplation.

Blessed be the Lord who made women holy and allowed holy things to be veiled.
Genesis 24:65:
She said to the servant,
“Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?”
And the servant said, “He is my master.”
Then she took her veil and covered herself.
