“Kings and Princes commonly wear a dark blue suit and black tie,” one commenter wrote.

Another added, “The Prince of Wales is NOT Catholic. HIS FATHER, the King, is the head of the Church of England. He wears that colour to signify that fact. What is Trump is saying, do you think?”

Trump’s attire also stirred discontent. “Trump did not even have the decency to wear a black tie, and he wore a blue suit,” one user posted. “No respect!!”

Women attending the funeral were required to wear long black dresses, gloves, and a veil.

Pope Francis had requested a much simpler farewell, departing from longstanding traditions. He was buried in a plain wooden coffin lined with zinc, rather than the traditional triple-casket arrangement of cypress, lead, and elm.

After the funeral at the square, Pope Francis’s remains were taken through the streets of Rome—another break from custom—on their way to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, as he had instructed.

Before his death, Pope Francis outlined his wishes for a modest burial. Rather than his full name, he requested the tomb simply be inscribed with “Franciscus,” a nod to his papal name chosen in honor of St. Francis of Assisi.

In his testament, he wrote: “As I sense the approaching twilight of my earthly life, and with firm hope in eternal life, I wish to set out my final wishes solely regarding the place of my burial.

“… I ask that my tomb be prepared in the burial niche in the side aisle between the Pauline Chapel (Chapel of the Salus Populi Romani) and the Sforza Chapel of the Basilica, as shown in the attached plan.

“The tomb should be in the ground; simple, without particular ornamentation, bearing only the inscription: Franciscus.

“The cost of preparing the burial will be covered by a sum provided by a benefactor, which I have arranged to be transferred to the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major.”
