Celebrating the Royal Family in Rome

On Monday, we held a remembrance service for HM Queen Elizabeth II at All Saints' church in Rome. She worshipped with us in 1951 as Princess Elizabeth with Prince Philip. They would continue to visit our city another four times. This was only the last of many great services surrounding the most important events of the monarchy, since our foundation, like every Anglican church did at some point, being an expat church and an embassy chapel to HM the King, that still continues.

At the turn of the last century, we had a grand service in memory of Queen Victoria, attended by the Garibaldi family; then another one for George V, attended by the then Italian King.

As well as services commemorating the coronations and deaths of George VI and his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.

Members of the Royal Family have worshipped with us since the days of the Granary Chapel at the Porta del Popolo. More recently Princess Margaret was a regular here during her Italian holidays. We now look forward to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III.
