In response to the death of Pope Francis on April 21, flags at royal residences and the Scottish Parliament are being flown at half mast. A royal source indicated that sombre music will accompany the Changing of the Guard ceremony. Following his passing, King Charles expressed heartfelt condolences, highlighting Pope Francis's dedication to faith, compassion, and social causes. He celebrated the late Pope's balance between care for people and creation, noting that his messages resonated globally. The Royal Family is expected to attend the Pope's funeral, pending Vatican agreement.
Our heavy hearts have been somewhat eased, however, to know that His Holiness was able to share an Easter greeting with the Church and the world he served with such devotion throughout his life and ministry.
His belief that care for Creation is an existential expression of faith in God resounded with so many across the world.
