Queen Camilla’s Visit Sparks Excitement at Rome School

Rome: Excitement was high at Rome’s Alessandro Manzoni school and the whole of the Appio Latino district that it belongs to for a visit by Queen Camilla on Wednesday. King Charles III’s wife, who was accompanied by Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara, was greeted by small children waving union flags.

According to Ansa News Agency, wearing a white-and-black-polka-dot dress, Camilla was at the school to meet pupils, teachers, and Brian Young, the director of the Italian branch of the British Council, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary. She also attended an English lesson with the children.

The Queen awarded diplomas to the winners of a competition and gave a selection of books to the headmistress of the school, where former Roma captain Francesco Totti and Mayor Roberto Gualtieri once studied. “It’s a joy to welcome the Queen, we’re all happy,” said the headmistress, Simona Sinola.
