Oh Henri...you just made me start my day with a good laugh . Donna Corleone...you kill me . As to President Kirchner, as far as I heard she was totally "not amused" by HH in His role as Cardinal of Buenos Aires...so we can expect a very discret and swift appearence perhaps?
I must say I would love to keep seing the "previlége du blanc". But I agree that most certainly some things will change. And I quote the Prince of Salinas, from Lampedusas's "Il Gattopardo", there is always something that has to chance in order to keep things the same... Perhaps protocol of ladies dressings will be left to their criteria, but I imagine that royal houses would mantain the black or white tradition.
And I am expecting of seeing mainly pearls as to ladies jewelry. Perhaps a discret brooch, some orders... But pearls do seem perfect to my view, they are always elegant, and can be worn in an understated way when necessary.
