Could it have been 1991 when Carl Gustaf en Silvia visited John Paul II? She was in a long black dress and her black lace veil was kept in place by the fringe tiara. I think the last time Elisabeth II wore a tiara (Wladimir Pearl tiara) tot the Vatican was in the 1980's. Beatrix only appeared in black with a hat and veil.
