7 women have the privilege of wearing white for an audience with the Pope. Noted that QE2 has worn black until recently.
Currently only seven women hold the privilege of the white – Queen Sof a of Spain, Queen Paola of Belgium, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Queen Letizia of Spain, Princess Marina of Naples and, of course, Princess Charlene. The tradition is not extended to non-royal female Catholic heads of state (like former Argentinian president Cristina Fern ndez de Kirchner) or Catholic wives of non-royal heads of state (like former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy) nor is it extended to Catholic wives of non-Catholic monarchs (like Queen M xima of the Netherlands).
It is also not given to every Catholic monarch’s wife as Princess Marie of Liechtenstein and Queen ‘Masenate Mohato Seeiso of Lesotho apparently do not have the privilege. The women traditionally need to be the queens of a “Most Catholic Majesty” or Rex Catholicissimus – either as consort or in their own right as regnant – a title given to Catholic monarchs by the pope and is considered hereditary unless taken away by the pontiff.
