King Charles III has welcomed Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to Windsor, marking the start of a three-day state visit to the United Kingdom.

The King was joined by Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine to greet the Sultan on Tuesday, 20 October.

Following the welcome, King Charles and Sultan Haitham climbed aboard a horse-drawn carriage for the procession to Windsor Castle, where a ceremonial welcome took place within the castle grounds.

The visit brings the Omani leader to the UK for three days of state engagements.
