King Charles III met Thursday with Pope Leo XIV during a state visit to the Vatican, and the British monarch made history as the first head of the Church of England to pray publicly with a pontiff. The 76-year-old king, by virtue of his role as the monarch, also holds the title of supreme governor of the mother church of Anglicanism. It was the first time a reigning English or British monarch has prayed publicly with a pope since English king Henry VIII broke with Rome 500 years ago. #kingcharle
