King Charles and Queen Camilla on
Tuesday met homeless and GBV charities during their visit to the
Colosseum in Rome.
The head of the Binario 95 (Track 95) homless charity,
Alessandro Radicchi, told journalists after his encounter with
Charles that "we spoke for a long time, in English, more than I
expected."
He said they had given the king a model house made out of
recycled supermarket wrapping paper by the homeless who sleep
rough at Rome's Termini Station.
"He was very impressed by the gift and told us, 'my wife will be
very happy with it," said Radicchi.
The representatives of the Differenza Donna anti-gender based
violence (GBV) charity said they had also spoken at length with
the royals and in particular with Camilla.
They said: "We spent a long time with both the King and the
Queen and told them about our work in managing the anti-violence
and anti-stalking number of the Cabinet, 1522, the anti-violence
centres and the shelters and we thanked her for their letter of
support and sympathy to Gisele Pelicot", the French woman who
was drugged for years by her ex-husband and abused by hundreds
of men.
