The President of Alduria, Henri Orange-Villayn, has visited Hutori as the guest of his second cousin HM Queen Elizabeth I. Arriving at Bekenial Palace with his wife Luise of Dorvik, the 92 year old would-be monarch was feted by the band of the Queen's Royal Musketeers, and greeted by the Governor General and the Grand Chamberlain. An afternoon performance by the Corktown Philharmonic Orchestra was followed by a full State banquet in the Old Oak Hall.

In recent history, both Alduria and Hutori have swung between republics and monarchies, but remain close allies. In the words of Her Majesty:
The bond between the two nations, demonstrated in our shared culture and cemented through our Royal union, is as strong as ever.
The Grand Chamberlain Alexandra Fraser, Countess of Kincardine
