About this listen
The past few days have seen a surge of headlines and historic developments for King Charles. On September 28 Buckingham Palace confirmed that I will undertake a state visit to the Vatican with Queen Camilla in late October. This upcoming visit is highly anticipated as it will mark my first meeting with Pope Leo the Fourteenth the newly elected pontiff and the first ever pope from the United States. The timing is deeply symbolic coinciding with the Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year a global celebration of reconciliation and hope. As the head of the Church of England my attendance during Jubilee ceremonies at St. Peter’s Basilica will be a profound gesture towards unity between Anglican and Catholic traditions after centuries of division. According to the Associated Press and multiple major UK outlets this trip also serves as a powerful follow-up to my private audience with the late Pope Francis earlier this year—an encounter made all the more poignant given his passing and my own recent health struggles.
The announcement of my Vatican visit has been widely covered by The Independent the Associated Press and the National Catholic Register. They emphasize that both my commitment to interfaith dialogue and my perseverance through cancer treatment have captured public admiration. While the Vatican trip has taken center stage I have kept a full calendar at home. This week according to Unofficial Royalty and Getty Images I attended the Queen Marie of Romania exhibition and showcased my own watercolours—a nod to my often-understated passion for the arts.
In domestic news headlines from the Daily Mail reported me expressing concerns to a senior cleric about the negative effects of social media on young people reflecting my vigilance about social cohesion and generational well-being. Social media accounts from royal watchers buzzed with snapshots from these public appearances highlighting the resilience shown by myself and Queen Camilla especially after months marked by health setbacks and hospital visits.
Major stories this week are not without tension. UK news and royal correspondents focused on logistical security around Windsor as my family makes preparations for Prince William and Princess Kate’s move into what’s being called their new forever home. Social media debates have swirled about the “no-go zone” being created for privacy and safety near their estate with locals voicing mixed reactions. While these issues are less historic, they do underscore the ongoing challenges inherent in modern royal life.
Long-term the developing relationship with the Vatican is seen by royal commentators as undoubtedly the most biographically significant. Across news outlets the upcoming meeting with Pope Leo is being framed as an event that could redefine royal and global religious history with observers predicting it will inspire renewed conversations on unity, pilgrimage, and environmental stewardship in line with the Jubilee year’s theme of Pilgrims of Hope. The world will be watching as the state visit draws near with hopes for new ground being broken in diplomacy and faith.
