King Charles and Queen Camilla have postponed their planned Vatican visit as Pope Francis continues to recover from pneumonia, Buckingham Palace confirmed. The 88-year-old pontiff was recently discharged from a 38-day hospital stay, the longest of his papacy. Doctors had considered suspending treatment at one point, fearing he wouldn’t survive the night. The King and Queen’s tour of Italy from April 7-10 will proceed with modifications. "Their Majesties send The Pope their best wishes for his convalescence," the palace stated. Pope Francis remains under medical advice to avoid large gatherings for two months. (PC: Reuters, PA)
