“His Holiness wishes to apologise to the boy and his family, as well as his many friends across the world, for the hurt his words may have caused.” The video, which has 1 million views on Twitter, also shows the Nobel peace laureate apparently giving the boy a peck on the lips in presence of an audience who are heard clapping and laughing, while a man captures the moment on a phone. Reuters has not verified the clip.
