Watch: Historic moment King Charles prays alongside Pope Leo

King Charles III prayed alongside Pope Leo during the King's visit to the Vatican.

This was the first time the British monarch, who is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and the leader of the Roman Catholic Church have prayed together in five centuries.

The prayers took place in the Sistine Chapel, where Queen Camilla was also present.

The royal couple's state visit has been against a backdrop of a tough week for the monarchy as questions about his brother Prince Andrew's links to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continue.
