According to the Daily Mail, a source mentioned that discussions are yet to take place at the "embassy level," but a Kensington Palace spokesman stated, "We look forward to announcing the Prince and Princess’s travel plans in due course."
While it remains uncertain whether the couple will meet with Pope Francis at the Vatican, the possibility is reportedly "very much on the table."
This trip to Italy will mark the first time Prince William and Kate Middleton visit the country together and comes after the controversial Caribbean tour in 2022, which faced protests and criticism related to colonial-era photo-ops. Despite the challenges during the Caribbean tour, Italy still holds significant interest in the Royal Family, suggesting a positive reception for the couple in the country.
