King greeted by Meloni before speaking Italian in parliament speech
King Charles has warned of the need for democracies such as the UK and Italy to stand together in such troubled international times, as he became the first UK monarch to address both houses of the Italian Parliament.
The King received a long standing ovation from parliamentarians in Rome, as he gave a speech on the third day of his state visit to Italy.
The visit also coincided with the King and Queen’s 20th wedding anniversary.
Queen Camilla, who attended Parliament with the King, was wearing the outfit she wore at her civil wedding in 2005.
The ivory silk dress designed by Anna Valentine had been “repurposed” to wear again for this anniversary day and the visit to Italy’s Parliament.
