Pope Francis’ funeral seating arrangement’s politics were exposed: How Prince William and Keir Starmer are pushed further back, but Donald Trump really gets to sit in the first row

Matteo Bruni, the spokesperson for the Vatican, said on Friday that the seating arrangement did not differentiate between Catholic and non-Catholic aristocracy.

Rumors of more diplomacy beyond that carried out by Vatican seat planners this week have already been sparked by the meeting of global leaders.

Before the funeral, Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump sat down and had a talk. Pictures surfaced of them having a near-face-to-face conversation.

Following their heated White House altercation in February, further negotiations are reportedly underway as the two attempt to reach an agreement.
