A lip reader has revealed the three-word comment that King Charles made while celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary to Queen Camilla.
Earlier this week, Charles and Camilla flew out to Italy for a four-day state visit to Rome.
The royals have been enjoying a number of different events, including a red-carpet welcome by Italian President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinale Palace, and a trip to the Colosseum.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Charles is set to visit the Palazzo Madama where he will speak before a joint session of Parliament.

And in the evening, the pair will also attend a glamorous state banquet hosted by President Mattarella, marking the King's 17th visit to the country.
While posing with President Matarella and his daughter, Laura, on Tuesday (9 April), Charles could be seen making a sweet comment, as he showed his gratitude to photographers.
According to lipreader Jeremy Freeman, Charles said: "Grazie per tutto," which translates to 'thank you for everything'.
Charles and Camilla's trip to Italy comes just weeks after the King required brief hospital observation, while suffering from side effects of his cancer treatment.
At the time, the palace said in a statement: “Following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer this morning, the King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital."
Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024 and returned to public-facing duties in April, while still undergoing weekly treatment.
The palace confirmed at the time that he had been undergoing a hospital procedure for a 'prostate enlargement' when a 'separate issue of concern' was found.
Wednesday (9 April) marks Charles and Camilla's 20th wedding anniversary, after the pair tied the knot back in 2005.
At the time, second weddings had only recently been recognised by the Church of England.
And while the late Queen and Prince Philip did not attend Charles and Camilla's civil ceremony - which took place at Windsor Guildhall - they did attend the Service of Prayer and Dedication at St George's Chapel.
Meanwhile, they also held a reception for the newlyweds at Windsor Castle.
During the celebrations, the Queen reportedly gave a touching speech.
Referring to Aintree Racecourse at the Grand National, she apparently said: "They have overcome Becher's Brook and the Chair and all kinds of other terrible obstacles.
"They have come through and I'm very proud and wish them well. My son is home and dry with the woman he loves."
