King Abdullah and Queen Rania meet the Pope at his summer residence. Corbis
~*~Humera~*~ said:No it wasn't a breach of protocol.
Queen Rania was allowed to wear gray (not white) because she was visiting the Pope at his summer residence (Castel Gandolfo) and NOT the Vatican.

It would be quite silly for a Queen to make such a huge mistake and risk a diplomatic disaster. All royals and heads of state have teams of people to ensure they dont make such serious mistakes.

Monalisa said:Why then she wore a mantilla "white,silver or whatever",she's not spanish,and the mantilla is a limited in the spanish culture,or spaniards allowed her also to wear a mantilla?

lizz70 said:I would like to know why Paris Match pointed out that it was a mistake? Having been raised as a Catholic, I have certainly never heard of any woman wearing any other colour except for black when meeting the Pope in an audience, except of course for the Catholic Queens.

Monalisa said:This is exacly what I was thinking about,I myself have the issue of "Paris Match" where the journalist pointed that QR made a great mistake,and added in french "Reine Rania a fait un faux pas,et a frolé l'incident diplomatique",those were words of the french magazine."
I doubt if it was not a breaking protocol case,that "Paris Match" would talk about or speculate about,as it's a serious magazine and not a magzine of gossips
lizz70 said:Queen Rania is not above making a 'faux pas' as was demonstrated at the wedding of Felipe and Letizia.
BeatrixFan said:What did she do at their wedding?
Monalisa said:Not to talk about that,That's funny that till now we admitted "faux pas" of other royals,but for QR we need justifications,why not to call "a cat" by it name ,she's human,and nobody is perfect.
BeatrixFan said:Is that breaking protocol? Wouldn't that be more a fashion mistake than a protocol error?

Monalisa said:I think that her breaking protocol in Let&Fil wedding was wanted,even if she didn't know,always the invitation cards of such as weddings,underline the appropriate clothes to wear.

Monalisa said:I think it's both,long skirt instead od short one for breaking protocol thing,and skirt matching for evening for fashion mistake thing.
