Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako are starting a state visit to the UK<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan are beginning a three-day state visit to the UK.<\/p>\n

They will receive a ceremonial welcome and a carriage ride up the Mall, with a state banquet hosted by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

But because of the general-election campaign, the Japanese royal couple will not make a trip to Downing Street.<\/p>\n

The Princess Royal will also be absent from the state banquet, after being admitted to hospital<\/a> following a head injury thought to have been caused by a horse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Royal greeting<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

State visits are a mix of ancient pageantry and modern international politics, with the red carpet being rolled out for important visitors.<\/p>\n

The visit by the emperor and empress is intended to reinforce military, scientific and cultural links between the UK and Japan.<\/p>\n

It is the first by a Japanese head of state since 1998 and will begin with a formal royal greeting at Horse Guards Parade and then a procession to Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

State visits during a general election are unusual – in the past, they have been rescheduled to avoid a clash with the political campaigning.<\/p>\n

But the Japanese visit has gone ahead, without the usual meeting with the prime minister in 10 Downing Street.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

State banquets are held in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

A centrepiece of this diplomatic flattery is the state banquet in the lavish surroundings of the ballroom of Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

The King will toast his visitors at such events, often in their own language, and make a speech in honour of his guests. <\/p>\n

The emperor will then reply.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer will be at the state banquet, on Tuesday evening, in one of the last such formal occasions before next week’s election.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nostalgic return<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

The following night, the two party leaders are in a head-to-head TV debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The emperor and empress’s programme of visits over the next few days will include Westminster Abbey, the Francis Crick Institute, Kew Gardens and the Royal College of Music.<\/p>\n

They will lay a wreath on Elizabeth II’s tomb, in St George’s Chapel, Windsor.<\/p>\n

And on Friday, after the state visit has ended, they will make a nostalgic return to their former colleges at Oxford University, where they were both students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
