The royals will host a glittering state visit

And welcome to our live coverage of the Sultan of Oman's State Visit to the UK - it's set to be a busy day!

If you're based in London, you might have noticed it's rather rainy this morning, and the weather in Windsor is set to be showery throughout the day, according to forecasts. 

King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William And Kate will entertain Sultan Haitham bin Tarik Al Said at a glittering banquet in the historic royal fortress.

Working members of the royal family will be out in force for the grand evening affair in St George’s Hall.

The event is the first incoming state visit since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the UK – but Harry and Meghan, who are not working royals, do not take part in official royal engagements.
