In an amusing twist, @tomhfh of GB News was bemused by the choice of soundtrack as @KingCharlesIII arrived in Italy. The Welsh Guard and Italian military bands played the Star Wars theme and ABBA's "Waterloo" during the royal visit. Is there a message with this battle-themed music as the King visits the historic Colosseum in Rome?
Amidst the music, the state visit aims to strengthen UK-Italy relations. Charles and Camilla received a stunning welcome as they embarked on their four-day diplomatic mission, set to include a historic address to the Italian Parliament. The mix of royal pageantry and political finesse marks Charles' first visit as King.
