I doubt it. Too much hassle, too many crowds. And can you imagine the confusion so soon after the elections? Last time they came to Naples; on the then Royal Yacht; actually got an official invite to meet them in the port. This came from the British Consulate, and still there were dozens of us. My kids loved it, and actually exchanged a few words with the Queen.

Probably fancy a bit of ossobuco in Trastevere.

Unless they meet up for an espresso macchiato in Via Condotti, or wherever...

All the best ma'am ..
