Global leaders gathered in Rome today to pay their respects at the funeral of Pope Francis<\/a>, who passed away at the age of 88<\/a> on Monday. The ceremony at St. Peter\u2019s Square drew major political and royal figures from around the world, including U.S. President Donald Trump, former President Joe Biden, U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron. Representing the British royal family<\/a> was Prince William<\/a>, attending in place of his father, King Charles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One photo in particular stood out from the day\u2014a striking close-up of Prince William as he arrived solo at the Vatican. The 42-year-old Prince of Wales wore a sharp navy suit, white shirt and black tie, sticking to his classic and respectful look. His slightly scruffy beard<\/a> was on full display and his somber expression spoke volumes, quietly capturing the weight of the moment.<\/p>\n

Another photo, zoomed out, shows William walking alongside another official, while a third shows him seated among dignitaries and fellow royals. He sat just behind world leaders and near the King and Queen of Sweden<\/a> as well as the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway.<\/p>\n

William\u2019s attendance was confirmed<\/a> earlier in the week, but one notable absence was his wife, Kate Middleton<\/a>. While she wasn’t at the funeral, fans of the royal couple won\u2019t have to wait much longer to see her.<\/p>\n

On April 29, William and Kate celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary<\/a> and are set to travel to the Scottish Isles\u2014which also happens to be where they first met. It\u2019ll also mark Kate\u2019s first public appearance in over a month, something I’m definitely counting down to.<\/p>\n
