King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to the Vatican postponed

This joyful royal engagement comes amid news of a change to the King and Queen’s official schedule.

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles and Queen Camilla’s planned visit to the Vatican has been postponed as Pope Francis continues to recover from illness.

Originally scheduled as part of their visit to Italy from April 7–10, the meeting with the pontiff was postponed “by mutual agreement” based on medical advice.

The Pope, who was recently hospitalized for nearly 40 days due to pneumonia, is still in recovery.

“Their Majesties send The Pope their best wishes for his convalescence and look forward to visiting him in The Holy See once he has recovered,” a palace spokesperson shared.

Despite this change in plans, King Charles and Queen Camilla will proceed with their visit to Italy, though adjustments to the itinerary may be made.
