King Charles and Queen Camilla will begin their state visit to Italy despite concerns about the King's health. The visit is important for bolstering relationships with EU countries post-Brexit and in the context of Donald Trump's presidency. The King and Queen were also scheduled to meet Pope Francis, but the meeting was postponed due to the Pope's ill health. The visit will include a speech by the King to both Houses of Parliament and a state banquet to mark the couple's 20th wedding anniversary.
