The Royal Family joined in to pay tribute to Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88 on Monday, April 21. King Charles and Queen Camilla just visited with the pope on April 9—their 20th wedding anniversary—and in his statement, The King wrote that they were deeply touched to have been able to meet with the pontiff before he died.
“At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father,” Cardinal Kevin Farrell said in a statement, per the Associated Press. The pope had been hospitalized for a "respiratory crisis" for 38 days, beginning on Valentine's Day, and the condition turned into double pneumonia.
