King Charles III’s audience and Pope Francis are delayed by a common agreement on medical advice

LONDON (AP) – The scheduled audience of King Charles III was postponed with the Vatican Pope Francis, after medical advice suggests the pope would be better with more rest.

Buckingham Palace made the announcement in a statement Tuesday. The tentative audience is the details of the British monarch’s visit to the Vatican and Italy last week. Always consult closely with the Vatican Secretariat in the state.

“Their majesty sends good wishes to the Pope for recovery and looks forward to visiting him in the Roman Catholic Church after he recovers.”

Francis, 88, has been hospitalized since February 14 and was released on Sunday.
