I don’t think tiaras were worn during the papal coronation… Only during papal visits to the Vatican. Some catholic Queens wore white, the other black. The Privilège du Blanc, the special Papal Privilege that allows certain Catholic Queens and Consorts to wear white in the presence of the Pope. https://royalwatcherblog.com/2020/12/17/privilege-du-blanc Previous Message Back when the new Popes were crowned, did the royal ladies wear tiaras and orders? Or was it long black day dresses and pearls?

the young Grace was lovely, even in the severe Court Dress of The Vatican. Her ruby tiara is gorgeous, I had the pleasure of seeing the rubies on display (as dress clips) and they looked good enough to eat. Previous Message

Tiaras at Papal Coronations in 1939 and 1963

I have published an article on the Catholic Sovereigns and Royal Guests at past Papal Inaugurations. The Prince and Princess of Piedmont (wearing Queen Margherita’s Musy Tiara) led the Royal Guests at the Coronation of Pope Pius XII  at St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican in 1939. King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola of Belgium (wearing the Nine Provinces Tiara and Wolfers Necklace) and Hereditary Grand Duke Jean and Hereditary Grand Duchess Joséphine Charlotte of Luxembourg (in the Congo Diamond Necklace Tiara) led the Dignitaries at the Coronation of Pope Paul VI, which was the last Papal Coronation.

So, if I’m correct, Queen Fabiola was the last who was wearing white and a tiara @ the Vaticaan? Previous Message Thankx a lot!
