On April 21, Pope died after a prolonged battle with double pneumonia.
The King of Jordan released a statement on Instagram to mourn the late pontiff’s death.

Meanwhile, the Queen of Jordan posted a picture with Pope on X and honoured him.
She stated in the message, “In a world that can often feel heartless, Pope Francis always had love to spare — for the less fortunate, refugee families, and children in war zones, in Gaza and around the world.”
