It is being reported that the during the Pope's 2010 visit to the UK, "the Vatican did not want the trappings that (normally) accompany such a visit." Therefore, the Holy Father has declined to stay at Buckingham Palace and will instead stay with the Apostolic Nuncio in Wimbledon. He has also reportedly rejected the customary "palace banquet and procession in a gold carriage" on his historic visit. News reports also indicate that the Holy Father does not plan to visit Ireland during this trip.
