STORYLINE:
Residents and tourists lined the streets of Rome to get a glimpse of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Tuesday.
It comes as the royal couple met Italian President Sergio Mattarella, the second day of a state visit to Italy that marks King Charles’ first overseas trip since he was briefly hospitalized for side effects from his cancer treatment.
Charles and Camilla were escorted to the Quirinale Palace by a group of mounted presidential guards and were greeted by Mattarella in the palace’s courtyard.
The royal visit was also celebrated with a joint flyover the presidential palace by the Italian air force’s aerobatic team, known as Frecce Tricolori, and the RAF’s Red Arrows.
Mattarella will host a state banquet for the British monarchs at the Quirinale Palace on Wednesday evening, which also marks the Royal couple’s 20th wedding anniversary.
King Charles will also meet Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni on Wednesday, before addressing a joint session of the Italian Parliament in the afternoon, the first time a British monarch has done so.
In Rome, Charles will highlight the close links between Britain and Italy at a time when European nations are working to bolster support for Ukraine’s fight against Russia.
The royals will celebrate the cuisine of the region and meet with local farmers devastated by floods that recently hit the area.
