Re: Princess de Rethy at the Vatican, 1950.
I think the privilege of wearing white is limited to Catholic Queens (and maybe also Princesses of Italy and Archduchesses of Austria? Somebody please confirm). Although the Princess was married to a King, she deliberately didn't have the title of Queen and given the controversies surrounding their marriage, she may have been cautious about appearing to take privileges associated with being a Queen. I believe the Belgian monarchy's position at this time was very tumultuous.
