Pope Francis and Queen Elizabeth II Meets In Rome For The First Time Ever.

  Queen Elizabeth II meets Pope Francis for the first time on Thursday on a visit that coincides with the anniversary of the start of the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina.

The royal, who is "supreme governor" of the Church of England, will also be meeting the Argentine pope against the backdrop of thorny Anglican-Catholic relations.

The foreign trip, a rarity these days for the 87-year-old monarch, had to be postponed last year because she was unwell. She will be accompanied by her 92-year-old husband Prince Philip.

Their audience with the leader of the world's Catholics at 1300 GMT will come after a lunch with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, a former communist with a similar largely ceremonial role to that of the British royal family.

The couple's last foreign trip was to Australia in 2011, and the one-day visit to Rome and the Vatican will last only a few hours, without much of the pomp usually associated with royal travel to avoid tiring the aging royals.

While the talks are likely to be purely formal, Anglican-Catholic ties are an issue because of resentment in Britain over the Vatican's move to bring in hundreds of conservative Anglican priests who dissented from the Church of England over female ordination

But relations between Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, are cordial and the two last month adhered to an inter-religious initiative to combat human trafficking.

The Anglican church, which separated from Rome after the divorce of King Henry VIII in the 16th century, has around 80 million faithful compared with the world's 1.2 billion Catholics
