The new Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain yesterday presented his diplomatic credentials to King Charles III.
Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, a Spaniard who speaks six languages, then left Buckingham Palace to formally read out his mandate during a Mass at Westminster Cathedral, London, which was celebrated by Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the president of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.
The Apostolic Nuncio is the personal representative of Pope Francis to the Court of St James's - the royal court for the Sovereign of the UK. His role is equivalent to that of an ambassador, representing the Holy See to the UK Government.
