    Who is at the Pope’s funeral and who isn’t

    Cliff Notes

    • The funeral of Pope Francis is taking place at St Peter’s Basilica, attended by numerous world leaders, including Prince William and US President Donald Trump.
    • Leaders from various nations, such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and French President Emmanuel Macron, are present, reflecting the Pope’s global influence.
    • Notable absentees include Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu due to ongoing diplomatic tensions.

    Who is at the Pope’s funeral – and who isn’t

    The Pope’s funeral is taking place today at St Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.

    A pope’s funeral traditionally brings world leaders together, and several are attending.

    Here’s a look at the list.

    Prince William

    The Prince of Wales is attending the funeral of Pope Francis on behalf of the King, Kensington Palace has said.

    The King was in Rome with Queen Camilla earlier this month, and met the pontiff at the Vatican.

    Sir Keir Starmer

    Number 10 confirmed the prime minister received an invite and is attending the ceremony.

    Speaking on Tuesday, Sir Keir said there had been “an outpouring of grief and love” for the Pope.

    He added: “I think it reflects the high esteem in which he was held, not just by millions and millions of Catholics, but by many others, across the world, myself included.”

    Donald Trump

    The US president was one of the first to confirm he would be flying to Rome, adding he would be joined by first lady Melania Trump.

    Writing on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday, he said: “Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome. We look forward to being there!”
