Not this summer but this autumn in connection with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa… However all that is depending on the king’s health so we won’t know anything until it gets closer

First it should be King Charles III who pays a state visit to Sweden.

With the same logic King Charles should pay a state visit to Japan as well - but it has already been confirmed that a japanese state visit to the United Kingdom is scheduled in June.

Maybe there will be a SV from/to Denmark someday soon. The last SV from the U.K to Denmark was in 1979 and vice versa was in 2000.

Im sure that Charles will definitely visit Canada in 2025. I would have said New Zealand too but it seems a bit far unless he's visiting another country nearby.

I think a trip to Canada is probably on the agenda for 2025. If Charles maintains QE2's policy of 2 outgoing state visits or "big" trips a year, there will be one other trip in 2025.

Also, might a state visit to our nearest neighbour, the Republic of Ireland, be squeezed in in 2025?

Unfortunate as it may seem, I can't see a trip to NZ happening for the next couple of years, as C&C have only just returned from the region.

President Higgins and his wife are both not in good health and his Presidency ends next year ,I would expect the next President to visit the UK in 2026.

Very fair point.

Very fair point.

I would expect one of the new Irish Presidents first visits would be to our island neighbour and then an incoming UK State Visit.
