Queen Camilla has revealed the secret to her happy marriage with King Charles during their 20th wedding anniversary celebration in Rome.
Their Majesties, who are currently on a four-day state visit to Italy, spent the evening of their milestone wedding anniversary at a State Banquet hosted by Italian President Mattarella.
Speaking earlier in the day to UK media covering the State Visit to Italy, the Queen reminisced on their marriage lasting two decades.
"Twenty years, who could believe it was 20 years? What is the secret? I don’t know…well…I suppose it's just sort of friendship, really,” she told the media at the school where she was meeting young children learning about Paddington Bear.
Queen Camilla went on to share, “Laughing at the same things, getting on with life. I suppose doing this [on a royal tour] takes up most of the time.”
"We are always going in different directions, like ships that pass in the night really. We whizz past each other. In fact we have got a bit of a catch-up this afternoon,” she added.
The King and Queen spent the anniversary morning apart, carrying out separate engagements in Rome, before being reunited at the Italian Senate, where the monarch mentioned their special day in his speech.
