And the first lady of the United States, and her daughter wearing a veil to meet with Pope Francis in accordance with the dress code, which must be observed during papal audiences. The first lady of the United States have long held this tradition.

“According to Vatican Protocol, during an audience with the Pope women should be dressed in a business suit with long sleeves. Clothing should be black, and the head must cover the veil,” — the press Secretary of the first lady of the United States Stephanie Grisham, in an interview on CNN.

She looked very elegant and in accordance with the situation, noted BBC correspondent David Willy. “Protocol and dress code have been complied with”.
