King Charles and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom are set to embark on a significant journey to Italy and the Vatican in April 2025. Their visit coincides with the Catholic Church's special Jubilee Year, a tradition that occurs every 25 years, focusing on themes of forgiveness and reconciliation.
The royal couple will join an estimated 32 million pilgrims traveling to Rome, the 'Eternal City,' to partake in the Jubilee celebrations. The Jubilee Year was established by Pope Boniface VIII in the 14th century and involves pilgrims passing through designated 'Holy Doors' in Rome's major basilicas.
