Honors are typically exchanged during state visits. When honors are not exchanged it is usually because that country usually does not give or accept honors.
- Order of Garter (Green) - UK's highest Order of Chilvery, usually only given to European Monarchs (& a select few monarchs outside of Europe)
- Order of Bath (Pink) - The most common order given to Foreign Heads of State.
- Royal Victorian Order (Blue) - The lowest of the 3 UK honors on this list. This honor is given for service to the British Monarchy.
- Foreign Honors (Various) - Are colored to correspond to the UK honors: Green extra special, rarely given; Pink most common for Heads of State; Blue other.
- * (Yellow)- had previously received a top honor from the country. (And as a result, there is likely no honor to give).
- (Colors are used to denote the different honors on the chart. They do not correspond to the color of the honor's sash, ribbon, etc. )
