King Charles the history maker...

EMILY in Palace became Emily at the Apostolic Palace last week, as I travelled to the Vatican to cover the King and Queen's two-day state visit.

Home to the Pope, a treasure trove of art and architecture and the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican really is an incredible place.

I visited for the first time with my mum eight years ago, and returned in April when I did some sightseeing ahead of Their Majesties' state visit to Italy. But walking through the richly decorated interiors and passing the Swiss guards dressed in their Renaissance-era uniforms, you're reminded just how special the smallest country in the world really is.

So it's against this backdrop that the King made history by becoming the first British monarch to publicly pray with a Pope in 500 years.
