King Charles and Queen Camilla said they have “heavy hearts” after the death of Pope Francis at age 88. In a statement, the King said they were “deeply saddened” but felt comforted that the Pope was able to share an Easter message before he died. “He will be remembered for his compassion, his concern for the unity of the Church, and his tireless commitment to people of faith,” the King said. The King and Queen met the Pope in Rome earlier this month. “We were greatly moved to have been able to visit him,” the King added. (PC: Getty)
