King Charles and Queen Camilla are set for multiple international tours in 2025, despite King Charles undergoing cancer treatment. Their recent trip to Italy was seen as a diplomatic success, highlighting strengthened UK-Italy relations. This comes amid European nations adjusting to the U.S.'s diminishing role in regional defense. The couple's engagement with Italy emphasized soft power, celebrated cultural ties, and demonstrated unity in support of Ukraine against Russia. Enthusiastic Italian crowds and a significant meeting with Pope Francis marked the visit as a memorable display of diplomacy.
