  1. I thought as Queen she was allowed to wear white, instead of black? Any comments.

    1. She doesn't have the Privilège du blanc. She is marred to a Protestant king.

    2. As far as I know only catholic queens are allowed to wear white. And maybe catholic hereditary princesses (hsh Charlene for example).

    4. I do not think Charlene has the Privilège du blanc, but this pope wants to keep things more informal. Also Camilla Duchess of Cornwall had white clothes.

  2. Slde privilège du blanc (Italian: Il privilegio del bianco) is a French term meaning "the privilege of the white" used for a Catholiccustom whereby certain designated women are permitted to wear a white dress and veil during audiences with the Pope. This is an exception to the tradition of women wearing black on such occasions. Those who have been permitted to wear white include the Queens of Belgium, Italy and Spain, the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, and the princesses of the House of Savoy.

  6. Only if she was a queen of a Catholic country.
    Maxima herself is Catholic, but the Netherlands is a protestant country and so is her husband, the king.

  9. No comment. Before them Mrs. Merkel headed to the Pope. Gaenswein looks old now. And beside this: nothing about Fashion here.

    All meetings with the Holy Father are special. I am glad to see Q Maxima wore black for this meeting. It is so much nicer when Protocol is fallowed.
