List of official overseas trips made by George V

Last updated

King George V succeeded to the throne of the United Kingdom in May, 1910. Before his accession, he made extensive tours of territories of the British Empire or under British control as the heir to the throne, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and India. He attended in person the Delhi Durbar of 1911 which celebrated his coronation, becoming thus the first and only Emperor of India to set foot on British Raj. Due to the outbreak of World War I and his poor health in post-War years, he only made a few state visits to other countries, including the first official visit to the Pope by a British monarch since the English Reformation.
