There was an idea started by Cardinal George and semi popularised by Bishop Barron due to his social media following and tv appearances that The Vatican would never allow an American Pope whilst America was the World leader and therefore an American Pope would be the surest sign that America's global role and influence were in serious decline

The King will become the first British monarch to pray publicly with the Pope since the Reformation 500 years ago during a state visit to the Holy See next week.

He's just hedging his bets mate, at his age he's trying to get a foot in the door just in case there is a hereafter :D

No discussion … he can’t continue to be king. That was established in England in 1701 and applied to GB and then the UK in successive Acts of Union.

I guess you could discuss whether he would be asked to abdicate formally or whether the law is such that he would simply cease to be king automagically.

Seems like a good get out of jail free card then. Let Willy deal with Andy & UK crap plc. Go back to the farm and do nice organic stuff. Nobody could possibly blame him.
