During their three-day state visit to the UK, Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress were officially welcomed at Buckingham Palace by King Charles and Queen Camilla. This visit marks the first Japanese state visit since 1998 and occurs amidst the UK general election campaign. Despite the unusual timing, the visit is apolitical, with the Japanese royal couple traditionally not engaging in politics. The welcoming ceremony was held at Horse Guards Parade, followed by a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace, where the Emperor and Empress will enjoy a lunch hosted by the King and have a packed schedule, including a visit to Westminster Abbey and a state banquet.
