VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla confirmed their plans to meet at the Vatican with Pope Francis in early April in an announcement March 18.
The British Embassy to the Holy See released Buckingham Palace’s itinerary for the British royals’ planned state visit, a formal visit coordinated with the Vatican Secretariat of State.
Pope Francis has been in Rome’s Gemelli hospital since Feb. 14 fighting double pneumonia and multiple infections. While the Vatican press office said March 17 that the pope can go without supplemental oxygen for brief periods, a source said his release from the hospital “is not imminent.”
Buckingham Palace originally announced the visit of the king and queen to the Vatican and Italy Feb. 6, more than a week before Pope Francis was hospitalized.
