''But amid his praise for Italy, there was a noteworthy moment when Charles drew attention to another country and his connection to it.

"Tomorrow in Ravenna, as King of the United Kingdom and of Canada, I will have the great honour of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of that province ... in which British and Canadian forces played a key role," he said.''
