It’s no secret that Tony Blair’s wife, Cherie, is a little full of herself, but this seems a bit much, even from her:

“Cherie Blair provoked surprise in the Vatican and the ire of a Roman Catholic MP yesterday by wearing all-white to meet the Pope, a privilege normally reserved for Catholic Queens.”

Of course, in a week when Tony Blair has come to look more and more like Louis XVI on his way to the chop shop, it’s sort of brave of his wife to confirm, um, her royal status.

Remember what happened to Marie Antoinette, dear.
