00:00King Charles gets new title. King Charles III and Pope Leo XIV's historic prayer and meeting

00:06led to His Majesty being given a new title. Pope Leo XIV gave King Charles III the distinction

00:13of being the royal confraternities of the Abbey and Basilica of St. Paul's outside the walls.

00:20Charles is the first British king to pray with a pope since King Henry VIII.

00:24Henry famously left the Catholic Church and started the Church of England after Pope Clement

00:29VII refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The British monarch is the supreme

00:34governor of the Church of England, a position they hold in a ceremonial capacity. King Charles III's

00:41trip to the Vatican is a big milestone for the monarch. The visit will mark Their Majesty's

00:46first meeting with Pope Leo XIV since his election in May 2025. The visit will also mark a significant

00:53moment in relations between the Catholic Church and Church of England, of which His Majesty is

01:03jubilee year's theme of walking together as pilgrims of hope, a spokesperson for the Foreign

01:09Commonwealth and Development Office said in a statement. King Charles III has a history of

01:14showing support for a diversity of religions and embracing them. The meeting for prayer between

01:19King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Pope Leo is highly significant, as a similar ceremony has not

01:25happened for centuries. Charles is supreme governor for the Church of England and has longed for

01:30building bridges with other faiths, royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital. King

01:37Charles III's trip is the beginning of a new era for the Anglican and Catholic churches. However, Prince

01:44Andrew's scandalous ties to Jeffrey Epstein might have ruined the moment. Regrettably, while this trip

01:50should be so momentous after 500 years of division, putting old divisions of the Reformation in the

01:56past with a wonderful new era of Christians uniting. Instead, it is overshadowed by the despicable

02:02moral depravity of his brother. This is compounded by the system and those who also protected him,

02:08British Royals expert Hilary Fordwich said.
