The reason Prince William and Donald Trump didn't wear black to Pope's funeral

The funeral of Pope Francis sparked confusion and outrage among onlookers as Donald Trump and Prince William chose not to wear the traditional black attire. While the majority of the crowd in St. Peter's Square for the Pope's funeral wore somber black clothing, a few individuals stood out for not adhering to this custom.

Trump and Prince William were among those who deviated from the norm, prompting criticism from viewers on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). One user asked: "Any reason why Donald Trump is in a blue suit and not wearing traditional black for a funeral?"

A third user stated: "Watching the funeral on BBC News.



Trump is in a blue suit when everyone else is in black. No class." Another user pointed out: "Why is Trump wearing a blue suit while everyone else is in black? No respect.

" Why blue might have been more appropriate However, it is worth noting that Trump and Prince William are not members of the Catholic faith, and the Roman Catholic Church has specific, deeply ingrained customs surrounding funeral attire. This could potentially explain their decision not to wear black. Black has long been the traditional color for Catholic funerals, a symbol of grief and homage to the deceased.

This custom isn't as rigid in other religions, though black is widely regarded as the proper attire for mourning. During a certain event, Trump, who identifies as a non-denominational Christian, and Prince William, affiliated with the Church of England, opted out of wearing the customary black, possibly highlighting their non-Catholic beliefs. A certain platform saw one user come to Trump’s defense, saying: "You don't understand the protocols.

Trump isn't Catholic. Prince William is in a blue suit too." This comes even as Volodymyr Zelensky, the Jewish President of Ukraine , recently clashed with Trump over informal dress at the White House, yet attended the event dressed in black.

Bangladeshi Muslim leader Muhammad Yunus also chose the traditional black attire. However, some leeway might be considered for Trump and William. India's Hindu President Droupadi Murmu was also seen dressed in blue, perhaps in accordance with her own religious customs.
