King Charles and Queen Camilla will mark their 20th wedding anniversary during a state visit to Rome this April.

The royal couple, aged 76 and 77 respectively, are expected to be in the Italian capital on April 9, coinciding with their milestone anniversary.


While full details await confirmation from Buckingham Palace, Their Majesties are reportedly scheduled to have an audience with Pope Francis at Vatican City during their Italian trip.

The state visit will proceed as the King continues his cancer treatment, with the couple set to undertake a series of engagements supporting causes close to their hearts.

The King and Queen were married at Windsor Guildhall on 9 April 2005, with their reception held at Windsor Castle.

Though it will be a working day in Rome, the royal couple will reportedly find private time to celebrate their anniversary milestone.

The visit aligns with Buckingham Palace’s commitment to maintain a “normal-looking full overseas tour programme” despite the King’s ongoing treatment.

The couple last visited Italy together in 2017 when they were Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

King Charles’s most recent meeting with Pope Francis at Vatican City took place in 2019.

Last week, King Charles visited the Jewish Community Centre in Krakow, Poland.

It was the monarch’s first international engagement of 2025.

During his visit, His Majesty met with members of the centre’s Senior Club, which supports elderly members of Krakow’s Jewish community, including Holocaust survivors.

The King was reunited with Holocaust survivor Ryszard Orowski, whom he previously met during a 2002 visit that inspired the centre.

The King’s connection to the centre dates back to its formal opening in 2008, when he and Queen Camilla, then The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, inaugurated the facility during a visit to Krakow.

His Majesty observed volunteers at the centre’s Free Shop, where food and essential items are provided to refugees.

The JCC has supported over 380,000 displaced Ukrainians in Poland, with many Polish non-Jewish volunteers from Krakow contributing to the effort.
