That can not be correct. The Prince of Wales, The Princess Royal, The Duke of York, etc.: all of them so often bring visits as representative of HM The Queen. Are they making State Visits then? The correct understanding of a State Visit is that of a visit of a head of state to (and on invitation of) another country in his/her function as head of state. On itself it does not matter. Diamonds will sparkle, no matter which label is glued on the event. I only find it a devaluation of the understanding of what a State Visit means.
