King Charles and Queen Camilla will make their first state visit to Italy as monarchs in April 2025, including a meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
Buckingham Palace announced on February 7th that King Charles and Queen Camilla of England will embark on a state visit to the Vatican in April 2025 to meet with Pope Francis. The statement revealed that the royal couple will also undertake a state visit to the Republic of Italy during their trip, which will commence in early April. \The highlight of their visit to the Holy See will be the participation in the celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year alongside Pope Francis.
Held every 25 years, this jubilee marks a significant occasion for the Catholic Church, serving as a year of unity and shared pilgrimage under the banner of 'Pilgrims of Hope.' This tradition of British royal involvement in jubilee celebrations continues from Queen Elizabeth II's visit to the Vatican during the 2000 Jubilee Year, where she engaged in a private meeting with Pope John Paul II, one of five popes she encountered during her reign. \This upcoming visit will be King Charles' first trip to Italy as monarch, although it will be his third encounter with Pope Francis. Their previous meetings took place in 2017 and 2019. During their 2017 meeting, Pope Francis encouraged Charles to be a 'man of peace,' to which Charles replied, 'I'll do my best.' The statement from Buckingham Palace further details that during their state visit to the Republic of Italy, the King and Queen will participate in engagements in Rome and Ravenna, both cities symbolizing the long-standing and robust relationship between Italy and the United Kingdom
