    Dear fellow bloggers,
    it is my pleasure to share with you all some of the most significant events marking the British Royal Couple's official visit to Italy (day 2)
    This footage (there are also other videos included in this link) was televised in Italian, so you can appreciate the genuine Italian sound and atmosphere of this very special morning.
    The King and the Queen look to be enjoying their stay in Rome.
    I was born in Italy but life has taken me so far away though I come back to my homeland as often as I can.
    Auguro a tutti Voi una buona visione e godiamoci queste" Vacanze Romane"!
    Buona serata!
    Best regards.
    Thank you, Helen.

    1. P.the original, thank you for sharing this. I love how we, bloggers, are from all countries, with rich and diverse backgrounds join by our love for the royals.
      No wonder we get different opinions, points of view, remarks etc.
      Let's do our best for always being respectful and courteous to one another even if we differ in likes and dislikes.

  2. En regardant mieux l'avant dernière photo, je crois voir une robe-manteau dont la couleur se retrouve dans les chaussures ; la fille du Président Mattarella est toujours aussi chic !

    Doesn’t she look beautiful in that blue?! Charles looks tired, but of course these are only a snapshot of a couple of seconds so never the whole story. Happy travels and good pasta to them.

      It makes sense that the king looks tired considering that prior to leaving for Italy he had been hospitalised due to side-effects he had from his cancer treatments.

    Both the King and Queen look wonderful here! Love that they seem to have selected some coordinating shades of blue--Charles often seems to choose a tie that coordinates with Camilla's dress. Queen Camilla looks lovely--the fullness of the skirt shown as she is walking up the steps is beautiful. But she has made me so happy that she's wearing my absolute favorite brooch in the BRF collection--the Albert Sapphire!!! I am so delighted that Camilla likes to wear brooches--I would miss seeing these gorgeous jewels. Hope to see some more dazzling treats out of the vault as the visit continues.

  6. I love the colour of the outfit and the smart matching shoes. I don’t think Queen Camilla ever favoured really high heels so I guess she’ll not start to do so now. These are a huge improvement on the black boots!

    The blue dress ( coat with dress?) is just beautifull! Look at it when she walks the staircase!

    In photo 7, QC looks like she is holding the hand of the gentleman beside her. :)

    The president's daughter Lauren looks marvelous. Love the black and white combination. Well fitted dress and perfect hairstyle.
