However, only a select few royal ladies are able to wear white as a symbol of three particular virtues.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only seven women worldwide are permitted to wear white when meeting the pope, despite the fact that many people have met him over the years. They are not allowed to do so, though, when they are at papal funerals. What we know about the tradition is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"401\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-242.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-242.png 401w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-242-224x300.png 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How the Dress Code for Royal Women Meeting the Pope Changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2009, Camilla, the current Queen Consort, met Pope Benedict XVI while she was still the Duchess of Cornwall. She donned the traditional long-sleeved black dress with a lace mantilla, or veil, to that encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-243-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-243-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-243-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-243.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For generations, women had followed this clothing rule when they met His Holiness.
