Rom, Italien - King Charles III. And Queen Camilla arrived on Monday for a four -day state visit to Rome. This trip not only marks Charles' first trip abroad as a monarch, but is also a historical moment for bilateral relationships between Great Britain and Italy. The British ambassador in Italy, Lord Llewellyn, described the visit as significant for the future of relationships after Brexit, since it was necessary to consolidate the bonds with European allies. The focus is also on support for Ukraine in the current conflict.

The arrival of the royal couple was celebrated by government officials, and numerous official dates are on the program during the week. Among other things, Charles will take part in a state banquet in the Quirinalpalast, where he humorously alludes to the couple's wedding anniversary, which was celebrated on April 9, the Wednesday of their arrival.

visit to the Pope and state events

One of the highlights of the visit was the surprising meeting with Pope Francis. An audience was originally canceled because the Pope is weakened after a serious illness. Nevertheless, the short meeting took place for 20 minutes, which was the first audience for the Pope for weeks. Charles III. is a relevant conversation partner as the secular head of the Anglican Church, which makes the meeting significant.

Together with Camilla, Charles emphasized the close relationships between the two countries in front of both chambers of the Italian parliament. With humorous allusions to the Italian influence on British culture, he was able to inspire those present. Nutella, an export hit by the Italian food industry, became the symbol of its appreciation for Italian culture when he and Camilla were given a golden glass of Nutella with the name "Carlo" by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

memories and outlook on Ravenna

On Thursday, Charles plans a visit to the city of Ravenna to commemorate the national poet Dante and to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the city from the German occupation. This part of the program shows not only the historical connections between the countries, but also the common European history, which is important for current international relationships.

Despite some health challenges, including a short hospital stay due to side effects of his cancer treatment, Charles is well recovered and ready to fulfill his royal duties. This underlines his commitment to the festive inspection of the wedding day and its diplomatic missions during the Italian state visit.

Against the background of these festivities it becomes clear that King Charles III. and Queen Camilla not only celebrate her personal history, but also redefine strategic diplomatic relationships at a time when the cohesion within Europe is of high priority.
