This week the British and Danish royal families will host state visits, which are often the most glamorous and formal events of the year. The Emir of Qatar will visit the UK from today, while on Friday Egypt's president will travel to Denmark. But in a "very unusual" move, King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark only announced their visitor on Monday evening despite state visits usually taking months of planning and preparation.

Today's events will be the first state visit Catherine has taken part in since her cancer diagnosis as she continues her gradual return to public duties. On Friday, the Princess will host her Together at Christmas concert inside Westminster Abbey alongside the rest of the royal family. There are two types of state visits: outward and incoming and they play an integral role in strengthening the host nation's relationships with other countries. They are the highest level of an international visit and help to promote links between the countries including social, commercial and cultural ties. Foreign monarchs, presidents or prime ministers are invited to visit the royal family on the advice of the country's foreign office. Likewise, invitations are issued to the royal family to travel overseas via Foreign Office. Across Europe's royal families, state visits follow a similar format.

The visiting royals are usually accompanied by the host King and Queen in a carriage procession to the palace where the formalities continue. Daytime events usually include visits to places of importance to both the host and visiting royals. The most spectacular part of a state visit is the state banquet, or gala dinner, at the palace, when the dress code requires formal wear and, for the women, tiaras. Later today, Charles will host the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his wife Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, in London. The Prince and Princess of Wales will welcome the Qatari royals at their residence, on behalf of the King, on Tuesday morning, UK time (early evening in Australia).

But Camilla has had to pull out of this part of the day's events due to a chest infection, on the advice of doctors, contracted after a busy tour of Australia and Samoa . It is understood doctors did not want the Queen to spend extended time in the chilly outdoor weather, with temperatures expected to reach seven degrees Celsius. The King and Prince and Princess of Wales will then ride in a carriage procession, with the Qatari royals, along The Mall to Buckingham Palace. There, the royals will attend a lunch and visit a Picture Gallery exhibition. Palace aides said Camilla will join the Emir and his wife for the lunch and hopes to be able to attend the gallery display. The Queen will attend the glittering state banquet in the evening and will pose for a group photo as it begins. But Camilla is expected to take a short break before dinner while guests are being met in a receiving line. The Princess of Wales will not be in attendance at the banquet, but Prince William will be there. The Qatari state visit is the last to be hosted at Buckingham Palace until the end of 2027, due to a $700 million refurbishment of the residence. Future state visits will take place at Windsor Castle. Since Charles III came to the throne, he has hosted incoming state visits by the President of South Africa , the Korean President and the Emperor of Japan . Charles has travelled abroad for outward state visits to France, Germany, Kenya and Samoa. On Monday evening, the Danish royal household announced the president of Egypt would be visiting Denmark for a state visit on Friday. A gala dinner, hosted by Frederik and Mary, will be held at Christiansborg Palace on Friday evening with Mary expected to wear a tiara and even part of the Crown Jewels. Royal expert for Billed Bladet Ulrik Ulriksen said the announcement by the palace took many by surprise. "It may be that it is for security reasons that they have chosen to wait so long to announce the state visit or perhaps there was uncertainty until the end whether the planned visit could be carried out," he said. "In any case, it is very unusual for such news to come so late." "The royal family has of course, behind the scenes, been ready for the visit for a long time and will undoubtedly be 100 per cent ready to carry out the state visit in the best possible way with a royal couple in top form at the helm," Ulriksen said. It will be the second incoming state visit to Denmark hosted by Frederik and Mary since the change of throne in January. Their first was in October when Iceland's President Halla Tómasdóttir, and her spouse, Björn Skúlason, visited Copenhagen. For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here . For the gala dinner, Mary wore the Pearl Poiré tiara and an antique diamond necklace, and earrings previously worn by her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe II and Queen Ingrid, Frederik's grandmother. Frederik and Mary have also attended three outgoing state visits since the change of throne. The first was to Norway , followed by Sweden and later Germany .
