Prince Albert II and his wife Charlene arrived in the Vatican, where they paid an official visit to the Pope. The 37-year-old princess decided to use her right to wear white in the presence of the pontiff and put a light dress on the event.
il privilegio del biacno
This is how the privilege that extends to Charlene sounds in Italian. She and six other women in the world can wear white clothes in the presence of Francis. The right to this are the royal persons (queens or princesses) of Catholic countries, among them the Spanish queens Sophia and Letizia, the Belgian queens Paola and Matilda, the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg Maria Theresa, the princess of Naples Marina.
All other ladies, according to the protocol, are obliged to appear at audiences in closed black dresses with a collar covering the neck, and having long sleeves and black mantillas.
Violation of the statute can cause a state scandal. So in 2006, it provoked the wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Sheri Blair met the Pope in a white suit, in response the Vatican condemned the act of the first lady.

Exclusive right
In the Apostolic Palace, where the event took place, Charlene appeared in a laconic white dress and a snow-white lacy mantle cape on her head. In her hands was a beige clutch, and on her feet suede shoes with heels. She supplemented her image with scarlet lipstick.
Despite the stylish and thoughtful outfit and impeccable royal taste, a young mother looked, who presented in 2014 to the prince her son and daughter, somewhat tortured.
