Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III will not attend the official installation of Pope Leo XIV, the newly elected leader of the Catholic Church.
Instead, His Majesty will be represented by his brother, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, at the papal inauguration scheduled for May 18 at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City.
A kind act! King Charles breaks protocol with surprising gesture toward 98-year-old veteran
“The Duke of Edinburgh will represent His Majesty at the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV,” a palace spokesperson said.
The decision follows a longstanding tradition within the British monarchy, where reigning sovereigns do not typically attend funerals or inaugurations of heads of state. These duties are often assigned to senior members of the Royal Family.
Pope Leo XIV faces a deeply divided U.S. Catholic Church
This protocol was observed previously when Prince William, now the Prince of Wales, attended the funeral of the previous pope on behalf of King Charles.
Similarly, when Pope John Paul II died in 2005, Charles-then Prince of Wales-represented Queen Elizabeth II. At the inauguration of Pope Benedict XVI, Prince Philip attended on behalf of the Queen, while the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were present at Pope Francis’ installation in 2013.
First American pontiff
The new pontiff, Pope Leo XIV, emerged from the conclave as the 267th successor of Saint Peter after two days of deliberations involving 133 cardinals. Born in Chicago and formerly known as Father Bob, the new pope is the first American to ever lead the Catholic Church.
After white smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, the world watched as Pope Leo XIV made his first public appearance on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. Speaking to the crowd gathered below, he offered a simple yet powerful greeting: “Peace be with you.”
“Together, we must try to find out how to be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges, establishes dialogues. That’s always open to receive, on this piazza with open arms, to be able to receive everybody that needs our charity.
“I would particularly like to say hello to my compatriots from Peru. It was a great pleasure for me to work in Peru.
“Let us pray together for this new mission, for the whole church. And for peace throughout the world. And let’s ask for this special grace from Mary, our mother.”

UFC má nového šampiona, gratuluje i Procházka. Legenda oznámila konec
Souboj Muhammada s Della Maddalenou sice mezi diváky před turnajem příliš zájmu nevzbudil, neboť lístky rozhodně nešly na dračku, přesto se v bojišti rozjela poměrně slušná podívaná. Prvně zmíněný, šampion divize, jenž vstupoval do duelu z pozice favorita, ale hodně rychle přišel na to, že to žádná jednoduchá šichta nebude.Především mu nefungovaly jeho oblíbené strhy, se soupeřem tak musel stát a rozdat si to v jeho lehce slabší disciplíně. I proto se bitva nakonec protáhla na kompletních pětadvacet minut s tím, že její průběh byl maximálně vyrovnaný, což platilo také z pohledu poškození na hlavách obou bijců, kde nechyběla ani pořádná příměs krve.Veltrová váha se přesto dočkala nového vládce. Della Maddalena přitom byl předčasnému konci blízko v závěru pátého kola, kdy se rivala snažil umlátit. A byť se to nepovedlo, radost v jeho rohu mohla naplno propuknout o několik minutek později. Šampiona přetlačil na body (48-47, 48-47 a, 49-46). „Je to sakra dobrý […]
UFC 315 — Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena: Results, winners, highlights, fight card, complete guide
Getty Images There's a king at 170 pounds. After a tough battle in the main event of UFC 315 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Jack Della Maddalena outlasted Belal Muhammad to earn the welterweight title. Della Maddalena stepped in on short notice to replace Shavkat Rakhmonov in the main event and made good on his opportunity. The native of Australia outboxed and outstruck Muhammad for most of the five rounds of action, though the final five minutes turned into an interesting back and forth battle as Muhammad attempted to mount a rally. Now, the next contender at 170 pounds could be lightweight champion Islam Makhachev as he looks to move up and become the latest two-division champion. Elsewhere on the card, Valentina Shevchenko remains the class of the 125-pound division. Shevchenko outpointed Manon Fiorot in a tight battle between the pair […]
Erling Haaland presents Pep Guardiola with a quandary in FA Cup final week
The last name Southampton wanted to see on the Manchester City team sheet, having conceded 82 Premier League goals and as they searched for a point to avoid the indignity of equalling the lowest points tally ever recorded, was that of Erling Haaland.After five weeks out with an ankle injury the striker with 84 goals in 94 Premier League games was back in cahoots alongside chief creator Kevin de Bruyne, whose 14 goal contributions against Southampton made them his favourite punching bag over the last decade.AdvertisementIt was a recipe for potential humiliation, a fill-your-boots type of afternoon that could also have put Pep Guardiola’s side level on points with Arsenal in second and given them momentum heading into next Saturday’s FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.Instead, Southampton kept their first clean sheet since December and prevented Manchester City from scoring […]
