Prince William to Attend Funeral of Pope Francis in Vatican Ceremony

Prince William will pay his respects at the funeral of Pope Francis this Saturday, representing the British royal family. Kensington Palace confirmed the 42-year-old Prince of Wales’s attendance on behalf of King Charles III, as reported by multiple outlets.

As heir to the throne, William has frequently represented the monarchy at significant global events, including high-profile funerals. His presence at the Pope Francis funeral highlights the U.K.’s longstanding connection with the Vatican.

King Charles honored the late pontiff in a moving social media tribute, praising Francis for his “compassion, dedication to unity, and tireless work for people of all faiths.” The monarch emphasized the pope’s remarkable legacy of global goodwill and interfaith dialogue.

The ceremony will bring together world leaders including former U.S. President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Pope Francis, the beloved Argentine spiritual leader who passed away at 88, is remembered for his progressive vision and commitment to serving the poor.
