Notes

1. According to the palace, any visit that did not include a state banquet given by the Queen was not considered a state visit (e.g. the visits to the United Kingdom of John F. Kennedy in June 1961, Carlos Andrés Pérez in November 1976, Carlos Menem in October 1998, Hugo Chávez in October 2001 and Abdelaziz Bouteflika in July 2006), except for the Papal visit in September 2010 which was specifically designated a state visit by the British government despite the missing of a state banquet.^[2] On his short visit in June 1982, Ronald Reagan was given a state banquet by the Queen at Windsor Castle, but this was still not considered a state visit due to the missing of other protocol such as the formal welcome in the City.
2. This was the first use of Holyrood Palace by the British monarch for state visits in modern times.
3. This was the first use of Windsor Castle for state visits since 1909.
4. He made an official visit to Britain as Crown Prince in May 1921 which was received by King George V.
5. Her second state visit to the United Kingdom. The first was received by King George VI in November 1950.
6. His second state visit to the United Kingdom during the Queen's reign.
7. Her second state visit to the United Kingdom during the Queen's reign.

10. A state luncheon was held instead of a state dinner.
