Whilst King Charles wore a suit to meet Pope Leo XIV, her outfit was a lot bolder and followed a long-standing tradition

King Charles and Queen Camilla made history with their visit to the Vatican on Thursday, October 23, with The King becoming the first British monarch to pray with a pope in 500 years. Their Majesties met with Pope Leo for the first time during their historic visit, and Queen Camilla paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth with her sparkling brooch.

While Charles's historic prayer garnered most attention, Camilla also made history by receiving the highest-ranking papal honor. She was bestowed with the Dame Grand Cross of the Vatican Order, recognizing her distinguished service to the Catholic Church and its mission.

Queen Camilla made a striking appearance in Rome as she accompanied King Charles on their historic visit to the Vatican. The royal couple were received at the Apostolic Palace, where they met with Pope Leo XIV in what marked an important moment of unity between the British monarchy and the Catholic Church.

Queen Camilla made a statement in a black dress and veil to meet Pope Leo, but other queens are given special permission to wear white around the pontiff. All about "il privilegio del bianco."

Queen Camilla has reportedly been granted a prestigious honour by Pope Leo during the British royals' state visit to the Vatican. King Charles III and Camilla touched down in Rome yesterday (22 October) for a two-day state visit to the Holy See, the government of the Roman Catholic Church in the Vatican.
