There are two State Visits due to take place in the near future. The State Visit by Prince Albert takes place from 4-6 April and marks the 50th anniversary of the visit of his parents, Princess Grace and Prince Rainier to Ireland in 1961.

A State Visit to Ireland by Queen Elizabeth II is anticipated to take place in the near future. The final dates and the programme for the State Visit are still under consideration and we are working closely with the British side on developing a programme which reflects the strength and vibrancy of our bilateral relationship.
