Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Queen Camilla has paid tribute to her husband of 20 years by rewearing her original Guildhall wedding outfit.
The gorgeous outfit in ivory silk by Anna Valentine has been repurposed with additional embroidery by King’s Foundation artisan Beth Somerville.
She arrived at the Italian Parliament wearing the special dress, having changed into the outfit after her solo engagement this morning, where she wore a black and white polka dot dress.
She accessorised the dress with a pearl and diamond necklace from her own collection.
It is the first time the Queen has worn the dress since it’s been repurposed, though she has worn it once before in its original form.
The sweet tribute to the King comes as Charles prepares to give a historic address to a joint session of Parliament – becoming the first monarch to do so.
The King and Queen are currently on day three of their four-day state visit to Italy, having been welcomed yesterday with a display full of pomp and pageantry and a spectacular fly-past hosted by President Sergio Mattarella.
Their day ended among the tourists at the Colosseum who flocked to the historical amphitheatre to see the royal couple.
Charles and Camilla had a busy day today carrying out different engagements on their own prior to their joint appearance.
The King held a private audience with Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni at Villa Doria Pamphili, while he also visited the Mattatoio in Rome.
Meanwhile, the Queen visited a local state school in Rome, where she met schoolchildren who had been taking part in a competition to mark the 80th Anniversary of the British Council.
