List of state visits received by George V

Last updated

King George V acceded to the throne of the United Kingdom in May 1910. As World War I broke out shortly after his accession, most of the state visits of foreign heads of state he received were made after the end of the war. A state visit normally lasted for 3-5 days and included a state banquet given by The King at Buckingham Palace as well as a formal reception of the City of London at Guildhall.
