The royals will continue their travels in Italy, according to Buckingham palace, noting that they "look forward to visiting him" when the Pope recovers.

King Charles and Queen Camilla agreed to "separate" living arrangements, a royal insider has claimed. The royal couple maintain separate residences, with the Queen keeping her beloved Wiltshire home alongside their shared royal households.

On March 25, Buckingham Palace announced that the King and Queen's visit to the Holy See has been postponed by mutual agreement in light of medical advice for the leader of the Catholic church. Pope Francis, 88, has been advised to rest after being discharged from the hospital on March 23 following a 38-day stay.
