No visits by the Queen

Since encyclopedia articles are about events which have happened rather than events which have not occurred, the following list probably should not be included within the article itself. If someone can find a reliable source citation, then feel free to move this list into the article. This list includes the six member states of the Commonwealth of Nations which the Queen did not visit during her reign. Those six countries are noted on the List of Commonwealth visits made by Elizabeth II#Commonwealth countries and territories never visited by Elizabeth II but I thought it would be good to have all of the non-visited independent countries listed in a single table for those who might be looking for such information.

There are explanatory notes for various items such as states with limited recognition and the other non-UN members listed here.

During her reign, Queen Elizabeth II never visited the following countries - 89 member states of the United Nations, one UN observer state, eight non-UN member states with limited international recognition, and one associated state of New Zealand.

Archiving of older posts

As several of the posts on this page are rather old, it would be good to move them to an archive page. Everything would still be available for viewing but it would "clean up" the talk page for current topics.
