On October 23, local time, King Charles III of England and Queen Camilla, who visited the Vatican, met with Pope Leo XIV in the courtyard of Santa Maria. This was the first meeting between the hosts.

According to the British media, after pleasantries, the American-born Pope ended the nearly 500-year split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church in just three short words. Let us pray.

Then the group came to St Paul's Cathedral to attend the prayer service. It is said that this prayer is the first public joint prayer between the supreme leader of the Church of England (Charles III) and the Catholic pope since the Reformation, symbolizing the bridge of the 500-year-old division.

Mainstream British newspapers called this a "historic breakthrough" and ended "half a thousand years of hostility". But Catholic conservatives questioned "whether to compromise the doctrine", while British Puritan groups criticized Charles for "moving closer to Rome".

Religious disputes have lasted for so long, and for most contemporary people, they may not have much substantive significance. For this reason, many people also hold the idea of "watching the excitement" for the activities of the day.

In this way, Camilla, the Queen of England, was also the focus, because she was dressed too brightly that day.

Camilla, 78, wears a black veil on her head to meet with the Pope, which is in compliance with regulations. The late Queen Elizabeth II visited the Vatican at least three times, and she also wears a black veil on her head, except that she wore a diamond crown twice, which is obviously to demonstrate her identity, but also can be understood as a purpose to show "uncompromising."

It is that women are usually required to wear black clothes and black headscarves when worshiping the Pope, and only the queens or princesses of certain Catholic countries are allowed to wear white, while Camilla obviously does not have the "il privilegio del biacno".

In fact, fewer than ten women were eligible for the "white-dressed privilege", including the Spanish Queen Sophia and Queen Letizia, Queen Matilde of Belgium, the former Grand Duchess of Luxembourg Maria Teresa and the current Grand Duchess Stephanie, Princess Charlotte of Monaco and others.

Although she had to wear black clothes and black veil, Camilla's choice of headdress that day was really incredible, and it was widely ridiculed. "Is she going to celebrate Halloween in advance? She looks too much like a witch." Some people gave such a slightly sharp evaluation, but it was also approved by many people.

It is that Camilla's headpiece was made for her by women's hat maker Philip Treacy, about ten black leaves, just like standing on the top of the head, but also looks like a "thorn crown."

As for why Camilla chose such an exaggerated but unbeautiful headdress, maybe only she understands it, but obviously it is not a pleasing choice, especially with her vicissitudes of face, the overall shape is more Halloween-like.
