Official visit from Jordan - November 2006

[Oppie]

There will be any tiara event or smth like that? If yes, I hope that she will has better hair-do than in the Netherlands. At the moment she has.

I don't think so because this is an official visit not a state visit.

Wasn't it an official visit rather than a state visit where Camilla wore the Delhi Durbar tiara? I wouldn't abandon all hope just yet.

A state visit is a formal visit by one head of state to another country, at the invitation of the other country's head of state. State visits are the highest form of diplomatic contact between two states, and are marked by major ceremonial and diplomatic formality. In parliamentary democracies, though the heads of state may formally issue and accept the invitation to visit, they do so on the instruction of their governments, who usually agree together on when the invitation is to be issued in advance.
State visits usually involve:

• state banquets hosted by each head of state, with the other head of state being the guest of honor;
• a visit to the legislature, often with a formal address being delivered to parliament;
• high profile visits to famous national landmarks;
• formal cultural events celebrating both countries, which are held in conjunction with the state visit.
