On the 10th (local time), the Vatican released a photo of King Charles III and Queen Commila at the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta, where the Pope has been recuperating for more than two weeks since being discharged from the hospital.
Pope Francis was discharged on the 23rd of last month after being treated for pneumonia at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome for about five weeks.
In a photo released on the 10th, the Pope shook hands with Queen Commila while sitting on a chair without a nasal tube for oxygen supply, and his condition appears to have improved considerably. When he made a surprise appearance at a mass for the sick and medical personnel in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican on the 6th, he was wearing a tube.
Charles III was also briefly hospitalized at the end of last month due to side effects of cancer treatment, but made a state visit to Italy as scheduled.
Buckingham Palace announced in a statement on the 25th of last month that it would cancel the official visit of the king and queen to the Vatican so that the pope could focus on recovery, but the meeting with the pope took place in a surprise move.
At this meeting, the Pope wished Charles III and his wife's 20th wedding anniversary and health, and Charles III reportedly prayed for the Pope's recovery. The Vatican said the meeting was significant in celebrating the pope's recovery.
Meanwhile, the Royal Family's official SNS account posted on the 10th, "'The Royal Family was deeply touched by the Pope's warm comments on the 20th anniversary of their marriage, and I felt honored to be able to send my regards directly to the Pope." was posted.
