A main member of the royal family will probably attend the funeral of Pope Francis, a real expert has claimed after the death of the pontiff.
The Real Expert Richard Palmer took X, previously Twitter Handle and tweeted that “it is likely that a main member of the royal family will attend the Pope’s funeral. The flags will fly halfway to some government buildings of the United Kingdom in tribute to the late Pontiff.”
According to a report of AFP, Pope Francis died on Monday at age 88, one day after making a very anticipated appearance in Saint Peter Square on Easter Sunday, said the Vatican in a statement.
“Dear brothers and sisters, it is with deep sadness that I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francisco,” Cardinal Kevin Farrell said in the statement published by the Vatican on his Telegram channel.
“This morning at 7:35 am (0535 GMT) the bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the father’s house.
“All his life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and his Church.”
Francis’s death occurred days after his surprise meeting with King Charles during the state visit of the monarch to Italy.
Pope Francis and King Charles had not previously announced a meeting at the Vatican earlier this month during the state visit to Italy, announced the Buckingham Palace and the Vatican.
King Charles and Queen Camilla had to make a formal state visit to the Vatican, but postponed their plans after the doctors prescribed Francis two months of rest after the pontiff experienced a serious episode of double pneumonia.
