Palace releases photos of smiling monarch during state visit amid Duke’s legal battle in London
Hours before the expected court ruling in Harry’s high-stakes security case, the royal family released an uplifting update on King Charles’ ongoing state visit to Italy.
The King's office published a series of cheerful photos showing the monarch meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the stunning Villa Doria Pamphilj in Rome. The caption read, “Their Majesties’ third day in Rome has begun!” highlighting the King’s latest engagement abroad.
The update was issued as Harry continues his legal fight in London, seeking to overturn the decision that stripped him of automatic police protection following his 2020 departure from royal duties.
According to his legal team, the Duke of Sussex was “singled out” and subjected to “unjustified and inferior treatment.” With the verdict expected to be announced today, the outcome could significantly impact Harry’s ability to travel safely within the UK.
While the King continues to focus on diplomacy overseas, public attention remains divided as the royal family faces renewed scrutiny at home.
