They'll be there for their 20th wedding anniversary.

They'll be there for their 20th wedding anniversary.

And will hopefully be able to celebrate that too!

Let's hope the pope is well enough to receive them.

Their wedding was postponed because the Pope died. Imagine if their 20th anniversary trip to Italy is postponed for the same reason.

Let's hope the pope is well enough to receive them.

I have a bad feeling about it. The Pope's health is frail and if he is still under medical care the King might not be able to meet with him. And King Charles also needs to worry on his own health, too, if he's undergoing a follow up treatment himself that requires to stay away from anything he could catch himself.

Let's hope for the best and I want to see a big state gala dinner at any of the old palaces like Quirinal or, why not, the Royal Palace of Caserta.

That makes a lot of sense. I assume they've known for quite some time now that it would be unlikely this visit could go ahead as planned, so in that case, there are two options: either change the program or postpone the visit and apparently, visiting with the pope was deemed most important.

 

[winifred]

Sad about the postponement but still looking forward to the remaining engagements in Italy.

 

[Alison H]

That seems sensible. Hopefully the visit can be rearranged.

Of course, it's the only sensible decision now. The Pope's own doctor has said it's a miracle that he's still alive (I've posted the interview in the thread about the Pope), he now needs to rest in order to recover as much as possible.

It is most unfortunate that King Charles and Queen Camilla will not have a papal visit with Pope Francis I.

 

[maria-olivia]

I may understand the cancellation of the Visit to the Pope

 

[An Ard Ri]

That seems sensible. Hopefully the visit can be rearranged.

I was expecting this to be honest , totally unavoidable given the Pontiffs poor health.
