Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip exchange gifts with Pope Francis at the Paul VI Hall, April 3, 2014 in Vatican City, Vatican.
The Queen's Papal Meetings Through the Years
The queen was given an antique parchment, which dates back to May 1679 with an "Urbi et Orbi" message by Cardinal Cesare Facchinetti. The pope traditionally gives a "urbi et orbi" message - meaning "to the city and the world" - at Easter and Christmas.
The queen gave the pope a hamper of what the Vatican said was "jams and drinks" produced on lands owned by the royal family. One of the drinks was a bottle of whiskey from Balmoral.
As a pair, the queen and the pope are leaders to billions of people around the world.
