File photo dated 16/9/2020 of Queen Elizabeth II with Pope Benedict XVI at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, on the first day of his four day visit to the United Kingdom. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI shared a "great affinity" with the late Queen, the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster has said. The 95-year-old former pope's historic decision to resign due to age in 2013 will remain "an exception", and he admired the Queen for continuing her royal duties until the end, according to Cardinal Vincent Nichols. His comments came after the Vatican said the former pope's health has worsened due to his age, and doctors are constantly monitoring his condition. Issue date: Thursday December 29, 2022. PA Photo.
