le privilége du blanc

Called le privilége du blanc in French or il privilegio del biacno in Italian, the special tradition is extended solely to designated Catholic queens and princesses and is usually reserved for important events at the Vatican such as private audiences, canonisations, beatifications and special masses.
Princess Charlene is bestowed this privilege, along with Queen Sofía of Spain, Queen Paola of Belgium, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Queen Letizia of Spain and Princess Marina of Naples.
Normal protocol for papal audiences require that ladies wear a long black dress with a high collar and long sleeves, and a black mantilla.
In April 2006, Cherie Blair raised eyebrows and the ire of a Roman Catholic MP by wearing an all-white outfit to meet Pope Benedict.
Cherie, wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, is a staunch Catholic and chose to exercise the 'privilege du blanc'. Her breach of the protocol was surprising at the time as she had kept closely to the Church's dress code in the past.
When the Queen met Pope John Paul II in 2000, she observed the code meticulously. Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, wore black, but omitted the veil.
Ann Widdecombe, the former Tory minister, was scathing about Cherie at the time: 'Even the Queen wore black to meet the Pope. This shows that she has a very grand idea of herself. She is a Catholic. She knows what the tradition is when meeting the Pope.
'She obviously thinks she is the first lady. My message to her is, "You are not a Catholic Queen, my dear, and you never will be".'
After exiting their black Mercedes, Princess Charlene and Prince Albert were warmly greeted by the Prefect of the Pontifical House, Georg Ganswein and members of the chapel.

Charlene shook the chaplain's hand and graciously bowed her head while Albert, dressed smartly in a black suit, white shirt and silver tie looked on.
The royal couple then met with Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, before posing for a photograph with Pope Francis.
