I know but my question was a bit different. In the House of Savoy aren’t all princesses entitled to wear white? What about Clotilde, the Princess of Venice? Have things changed after the monarchy was abolished in Italy?

I wonder if the Privilège du blanc will ever be extended to Princesses of Liechtenstein?

So it doesn't include them? They are Roman Catholics.

According to her autobiography by James Pope-Hennessy, Queen Mary of the United Kingdom wore white when she and her husband, King George V visited Pope Pius XI in the Vatican in May 1923.
"Queen Mary, who would never wear black if she could avoid it, had chosen to be dressed entirely in white, with a white lace veil upon her head. She was wearing ropes of pearls and round her throat was a pearl choker."
