Is this a mere coincidence or just perfect timing? It seems the Pope is really doing a good one on world leaders this year. The French president , even amidst his scandalous extra-marrital affair, The Ukrainians, amidst the mass protests and tensions: President Obama (in his time of divorce rumours)and now the Queen of England? (this period when she is rumoured to be broke and down to her last $1.6 million in treasury?).
The Queen will meet Pope Francis for the first time when she visits Rome in April as a guest of the Italian president, Buckingham Palace has announced. The Queen and her husband Prince Philip will have an
audience with the Pope after attending a lunch hosted by President Giorgio Napolitano during the one-day visit on April 3.
It will be the first time that the Queen, who is head of the Church of England, has met the Roman Catholic leader since he was elected in March last year. The trip was announced the day after it was confirmed that the Queen will make a state visit to France to mark the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings on June 5-7.
