Reigning sovereigns and members of Royal families, and Presidents of republics, when on a visit to a Dependent Territory, are accorded special recognition.
Special advice will usually be issued at the time and where necessary in regard to visits of persons of the British Blood Royal.
Royal visitors holding high naval, military or air force rank are accorded their Royal precedence, into which their
other rank is merged.
Deposed sovereigns and their families should be treated entirely as private persons, but there is no objection to their being accorded such courtesy facilities as exemption from passport and customs formalities, or to their being invited as private persons to dinners at Government House
and other functions.
