The Queen meets Pope Francis fro the first time
» more Prince George with parents - Duke & Duchess of Cambridge
For an eight year old kid who seems to have everything, what could anyone send to him as a gift? Well, Pope Francis had the strangest gift ever and he handed it to The Queen of England who came visiting him for the very first time.
The Pope reportedly gave Prince George a lapis lazuli orb decorated with a silver cross of Edward the Confessor - the 11th Century English King who was made a saint.
Pope Francis gave The Queen the unusual and not very child-friendly gift for her great-grandson Prince George as she apologized for a delay in meeting him at the Vatican.
The Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, shook hands with the leader of the Catholic Church and said: "Sorry to keep you waiting, we were having lunch with the president", before heading into a private meeting with the pontiff.
The private conversation between the royal couple and the Pope lasted around 17 minutes and was followed by a formal exchange of gifts.
We hear The Queen gave the Pope Whisky. Wait, what!!!?
