King Charles and Queen Camilla Touch Down in Rome for Historic Four-Day State Visit
- Monday, 07 April 2025
King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Rome for a four-day state visit to Italy, where they were welcomed with a red carpet ceremony at Ciampino Airport. Despite ongoing cancer treatment that saw him hospitalized just 12 days ago, Charles insisted on making the trip. The royal couple will attend 19 engagements between today and Thursday, with some Vatican events removed from the itinerary due to Pope Francis's recuperation after treating double pneumonia. They are staying at Villa Wolkonsky, home of the British ambassador to Italy, which features beautiful grounds crossed by a Neronian aqueduct dating back to the 1st Century AD.
