1/8 As I prepare to leave Rome after five remarkable years at @UKinHolySee, a few memories from an extraordinary posting. It began in 2021 with my arrival in Rome and one of my earliest highlights: meeting Pope Francis. Rome and its diplomatic community soon became a second home

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has become Papal Confrater of the College of St George at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
A particularly poignant announcement today, on the first anniversary of Their Majesties’ State Visit to the Holy See.

Wonderful to see Pope Leo XIV discharged from hospital after surgery earlier this week. We @UKinHolySee wish him all the best for a swift recovery ❤️🩹 🙏🏽
Pope Leo XIV was discharged from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and returned to the papal apartments in Vatican City State on Saturday afternoon.
The announcement that Pope Leo would be released from hospital was made on Saturday morning.
A separate statement from the Holy See Press Office announced that Pope Leo will lead the noonday Angelus prayer on Sunday from the window of the Apostolic Palace.

7/8 I was fortunate to meet many people working quietly to make a difference, from youth anti-trafficking advocates to women leaders and environmental campaigners. These partnerships taught me as much as they achieved
8/8 A final personal highlight was seeing my book presented to His Holiness and bidding him farewell. But no posting is the work of one person. I leave grateful to the @UKinHolySee team and to the many colleagues, partners and friends who shared this journey. Thank you 🇬🇧🇻🇦

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.
