00:00How Camilla honored Elizabeth while meeting the Pope

00:03Queen Camilla paid homage to Queen Elizabeth II during a Vatican visit with King Charles II.

00:10Queen Camilla sported a black Fiona Clare dress, a black mantilla by Philip Treacy,

00:15and a raspberry pip brooch, which previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.

00:20While that may seem significant, it's actually quite modest compared to Queen Elizabeth II's most expensive brooch,

00:26the Cullinan III and IV brooch.

00:30Which is valued at an astonishing 50 million pounds, jeweler Maxwell Stone told Daily Express.

00:36King Charles III and Queen Camilla's trip to the Vatican is historic,

00:40as His Majesty is the first British monarch to meet with a Pope since the Reformation period.

00:45King Henry VIII cut ties with the Catholic Church after Pope Clement VII failed to approve of his annulment

00:52from Catherine of Aragon and his marriage to Anne Boleyn.

00:55Henry then created the Church of England, and since then, British sovereigns have served as the supreme governor of the Anglican faith.

01:03The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office released a statement celebrating this new chapter.

01:08The visit will mark their majesty's first meeting with Pope Leo XIV since his election in May 2025.

01:16The visit will also mark a significant moment in relations between the Catholic Church and Church of England,

01:21of which His Majesty is supreme governor, recognizing the ecumenical work they have undertaken

01:26and reflecting the Jubilee year's theme of walking together as pilgrims of hope, a spokesperson said.
