More style, beauty, shoe vexation and hair concerns...

Well, definitely Max wears that the best. She looks so elegant there.
I’m not too keen on Charlene’s dress, too shiny and voluminous and it’s got cute little panda faces on🐼

Charlenes dress is surely too long... it's folding at the bottom and a fabric like that is too stiff to drape.

Yes I'm not a fan of Charlene's dress. The fabric is too stiff. The necklace is not right with that neckline and is too fussy for my tastes.

I love in all the pics of this event she's leaning away from him! Can't wait for a body language analysis!

I love them all too. She really nails shorts

Charlene again (and Al). I'm a sucker for mantilla

I like how Charlene's even had a black manicure.

It's interesting that Charlene wore black. I am pretty sure that she has the privilege du blanc to wear white when meeting the Pope and has done so in the past.

Interesting point Seneca - I looked it up and yes, in her two previous meetings with Popes she has worn white. I wonder why she decided to wear black this time?

Maybe she's revoked her RC status

Pope Francis abolished that rule.

I never really like anything Charlene wears. I always think she looks uncomfortable and awkward. Bet she can't wait to get home and get into her comfy clothes

Not really meant to wear rosary beads as jewellery I remember my granny telling me

Your granny was right @CliffsofMohair !

That rosary looked a bit Madonna in the 80s. I half-expected Charlene to drop to her knees and break out into a chorus of Like A Prayer!

He's revoked privilege du blanc completely?

Yes

I like the black manicure. Is the mantilla/ hair covering a requirement?

This article has some fabulous pictures of royalty and world leaders meeting the Pope.

This one is HMQ in 1980.

No head covering required - just tradition.

Gosh! Quite the moderniser! I can well imagine a couple of the older generation of Queens being unimpressed by that 😀

Great pictures, @RomainingCalm - Angelina Jolie and Michelle Obama look smart and elegant, as ever.

Camilla meeting the Pope 2017.

Doesn't the Pope look thrilled? Maybe he was a Diana fan 🤣

Oh that's bold @KillingMeDeftly
