King Charles Meets New Pope Leo XIV | JQJO

King Charles III and Queen Camilla will undertake a state visit to the Vatican in October, meeting Pope Leo XIV. This rescheduled visit, postponed earlier due to the previous Pope's ill health, aims to highlight relations between the Church of England and the Catholic Church. The royal couple previously had a private audience with Pope Francis. The upcoming visit occurs during a Catholic Jubilee year, focusing on "pilgrims of hope," and underscores the King's efforts in interfaith dialogue, including recent attendance at a Catholic funeral for the Duchess of Kent.
