I am Glad Charles III and Camilla could meet the Pope. It was a very important moment as King and Queen.

The photos with the frail Pope were wonderful and very touching.

The king and queen paid a visit to the Tomb of Dante in Ravenna on their final day.

Prior to the visit the King held a reception in England at which the Duke of Aosta was present. Does anyone know if the Duke or any Italian royals were at any of the events in Italy when the King visited?

I think it's very clear that the King and Queen's visit to Italy has been a great success! They seemed very relaxed and happy and the people, both in Rome and Ravenna, met them with joy.
King Charles won people's affections with his speech in Italian (many commented that he actually speaks Italian better than many italian politicians... quite true, may I add!) and Queen Camilla was absolutely glowing and charming.

During the state visit, the king explicitly referenced that he was (not only king of the UK but also) 'king of Canada' during his address to the Italian parliament.
