King Charles III and Queen Camilla will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in Rome on Wednesday, a union that once scandalised public opinion and shook the monarchy.
The couple, who have known each other for over 50 years, will have little time to enjoy their milestone in private.
After a busy day, they will be the guests of honour at a banquet organised as part of their four-day state visit to Italy.
On Monday, the couple released three official anniversary photographs to mark the occasion, taken at the official residence of the UK ambassador to Italy.
In a post on their Instagram account, they wrote: "We are so looking forward to celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary in such a special place and with such wonderful people!"
Since February 2024, the 76-year-old king has been undergoing treatment for an unspecified cancer.
He spent a brief spell in hospital last month when he suffered side effects related to his treatment.
But the monarch insisted on carrying on with the trip to Italy with Camilla, 77, whom he often calls his "beloved wife".
