King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to Vatican postponed as sickly Pope Francis ‘needs more rest’ after health battle

THE KING and Queen's state visit to the Vatican has been postponed as the Pope requires an “extended period of rest and recuperation”.

Buckingham Palace made the announcement just two days after Pope Francis was discharged from hospital following a life-threatening bout of pneumonia.

The royals had been due to visit Francis in the Holy See in just under two weeks' time.

Buckingham Palace said it was a mutual agreement to put the tour on hold following medical advice that suggested the pontiff would benefit from extra time to recuperate.

While their Italy tour will still continue, there will be some changes to King Charles and Queen Camilla's programme.

Pope Francis left hospital on Sunday, returning to the Vatican after surviving a terrifying life-threatening bout of pneumonia.

Buckingham Palace said: “The King and Queen's State Visit to The Holy See has been postponed by mutual agreement, as medical advice has now suggested that Pope Francis would benefit from an extended period of rest and recuperation.

“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.”
