King Charles and Queen Camilla have released new photos to mark the 20th anniversary of their marriage during their state visit to Italy. The royal couple appear relaxed and smiling in the garden of Villa Wolkonsky, the British ambassador’s residence in Rome.
Queen Camilla is elegantly dressed and wears a brooch with a lily of the valley, a symbol of enduring love and commitment over the years. King Charles appears calm with a warm smile, reflecting the harmony that has characterized their relationship for two decades.
The British ambassador to Italy, Lord Llewellyn, described this trip as a “historic” moment, emphasizing the importance of the visit in strengthening the United Kingdom’s relationships with European allies post-Brexit.
He also highlighted that the visit comes at a key moment, as ties are being re-established with European partners. The couple’s love for Italy and its culture has sparked a positive response from the Italian public, who are expected to warmly welcome them during their stops in Rome and Ravenna.
Italian media have spoken of a “royal fever,” emphasizing the interest and sympathy the couple generates among citizens. Part of the agenda included a visit to the Vatican, where King Charles was scheduled to attend a special service at the Sistine Chapel.
However, this visit was postponed due to the health condition of Pope Francis, who is recovering. At the moment, there are no announcements for a private meeting with the King.
