King Charles is giving a speech to both houses of Italy’s parliament during his state visit to the country.<\/p>\n

The King, who is celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary, had a private meeting with Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni earlier on Wednesday and saw a performance of Shakespeare’s Othello.<\/p>\n

Charles was given a red carpet welcome with a guard of honour when he arrived at the Villa Doria Pamphili at the start of the third day of the royal couple’s four-day tour of Rome and the city of Ravenna.<\/p>\n

He and Ms Meloni appeared relaxed as they posed for photographers.<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla was greeted by small children waving Union flags as she visited the Alessandro Manzoni school in Rome.<\/p>\n

She met students and teachers, went to an English lesson with the children, and awarded diplomas to competition winners.<\/p>\n

The King and Queen will be guests of honour at a state banquet in the Italian capital this evening, where they’ll likely rub shoulders with leading figures from Italian life.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla married in a civil ceremony in Windsor on 9 April 2005 following a romance that began when they were in their early 20s.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
