At the end of the Regina Caeli prayer from the Loggia of Benedictions, Pope Leo XIV reopened the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace, removing the seals placed on the afternoon of April 21, following the death of Pope Francis.

The reopening took place in the presence of the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, Cardinal Kevin Joseph Farrell; the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin; the Substitute for General Affairs, Monsignor Edgar Peña Parra; the Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations, Monsignor Paul Richard Gallagher; and the Regent of the Papal Household, Monsignor Leonardo Sapienza.
