Donald Trump and Melania arrived in Rome to attend Pope Francis’ historic funeral, joining dozens of world leaders in Vatican City. As final tributes poured in, questions over seating arrangements stirred quiet tensions, especially for Trump—who previously criticized his predecessor’s distant placement at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. With Argentina and Italy taking protocol precedence, other guests, including royalty and heads of state, are seated alphabetically. While Trump faces a "third-tier" position, Vatican experts assure the event will be a masterclass in managing egos and international dignitaries with delicate diplomacy.

POPE's Last Rites: Pope Francis’ funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, April 26, in St. Peter’s Square. The Vatican expects high-level attendance, including U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, France’s Emmanuel Macron, and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni. The Mass, led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, will begin at 10 a.m. local time. Francis, who died on Easter Monday, will be the first pope buried outside the Vatican in over a century. The ceremony will follow simplified rites, honoring Francis’ humble pastoral legacy and request for a more spiritual celebration.

In what’s shaping up to be a historic and emotionally charged farewell to Pope Francis, world leaders are gathering in Vatican City — and the spotlight is on former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden. According to the reported seating chart for the funeral, the two political rivals are expected to be seated close together in the third row, potentially leading to an awkward public moment in front of a global audience. While the Vatican has yet to release official details, past papal funerals, like that of Pope John Paul II, give insight into the protocol and seating hierarchy. With over 130 country delegations and several monarchs in attendance, this funeral will not only be a spiritual event but also a powerful display of global diplomacy — and underlying political tension.
