It wasn’t until 1980 that a British monarch paid a state visit to the Vatican. It’s kind of amazing to see wear a tiara there.

  1. I know and applaud Pope Francis tried to make things more informal, but wow, the black gown and Vladimir make an impression!

  2. Giving ‘great granddaughter of Henry VIII’ and ‘Defender of the faith’ vibes. Tiara to really top off the ‘who’s really in charge you court jester’ tude.

  3. She’s magnificent!
    Their code tries to hide females away with black robe and veil. But look at this grand Queen, outshining even the Pope!
