The King<\/a> and Queen<\/a> will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary in Rome<\/a> at a glamorous state banquet, hosted by Italy’s president.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla will be kicking off their four-day state visit to Italy<\/a> on Monday ahead of their wedding anniversary on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

On the evening of their anniversary, the royals will be guests of honour at the banquet, hosted by president Sergio Mattarella, at the Quirinale, a former Italian palace.<\/p>\n

The visit comes just weeks after the King, 76, experienced side effects from his cancer<\/a> treatment and was taken to hospital for ‘a short period of observation’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The incident meant Charles had to cancel an away day to Birmingham.<\/p>\n

A royal source later described the hospital visit as the \u2018most minor bump in a road that is very much heading in the right direction\u2019.<\/p>\n

The King and Queen were also set to visit Pope Francis<\/a> in the Vatican, but had to postpone the trip as he is still recovering from a battle with pneumonia.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Pope received medical advice saying he would ‘benefit from an extended period of rest and recuperation’, a statement from Buckingham Palace <\/a>said.<\/p>\n

‘Their Majesties send The Pope their best wishes for his convalescence and look forward to visiting him in The Holy See, once he has recovered,’ the statement added.<\/p>\n

King Charles and Queen Camilla’s love story<\/h2>\n

When Charles was the Prince of Wales<\/a>, he married Camilla Parker Bowles in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall on April 9, 2005. <\/p>\n

Camilla was 23 when she met 22-year-old Charles during a polo match at the Windsor Great Park in 1970.<\/p>\n

However, the two became distanced after Charles served in the Royal Navy<\/a>for eight months. <\/p>\n

When he returned, Camilla was already engaged to British Army officer Andrew Parker Bowles.<\/p>\n

They were married in 1973 and had two children together<\/a>, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes, before getting divorced in 1995.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Charles married Diana, Princess of Wales<\/a>, in 1981.<\/p>\n

They separated in 1992 before divorcing officially in 1996 – a year before Diana passed away in 1997<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charles and Camilla made their relationship public and got married in 2005.<\/p>\n

At their wedding reception, Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> said: ‘They have overcome Becher\u2019s Brook and The Chair and all kinds of other terrible obstacles. <\/p>\n

‘They have come through and I\u2019m very proud and wish them well.<\/p>\n

‘My son is home and dry with the woman he loves.’<\/p>\n
