On October 23, Pope Leo XIV received the honorary title of brotherhood member from Saint George's Chapel. The British royal family announced this news on its official website. The title was approved by the King and the dean and canons of Windsor Castle's Saint George's Chapel under the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The announcement emphasized that this act shows spiritual fellowship, ecumenical friendship, and Christian brotherhood. The statement also noted that this decision recognizes the centuries-long relationship between the Saint George's Chapel brotherhood and Saint George's Chapel and the Vatican.

It also reflects the deep mutual respect and shared desire for Christian unity between the Pope and the King.
