King Charles to Host Qatar's Emir for December State Visit

The visit will include a ceremonial welcome and state banquet at Buckingham Palace, highlighting the UK's diplomatic ties with Qatar.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will welcome Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and his wife Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani to the UK from December 3-4.
The state visit will feature a traditional ceremonial welcome at Horse Guards Parade and a grand banquet at Buckingham Palace.
Qatar, a key mediator in the Israel-Hamas conflict, faces criticism for its human rights record, including issues related to migrant workers and LGBTQ+ rights.
Sheikh Tamim, educated in Britain, is known for his ties to the UK and has previously met with British political leaders, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
This visit marks King Charles's continued engagement with international leaders following his recovery from cancer treatment earlier this year.
