Queen Eliz­a­beth II vis­it­ed Trinidad and To­ba­go three times in 1966, 1985 and 2009.

The Queen vis­it­ed from 7 to 10 Feb­ru­ary 1966.

She al­so vis­it­ed on the 1st to 3rd No­vem­ber 1985 as part of Caribbean Com­mon­wealth Tours. And 26th to 28th No­vem­ber 2009 to at­tend the Com­mon­wealth Heads of Gov­ern­ment Meet­ing 2009.

She and her con­sort, Prince Philip, were wel­comed by tens of thou­sands of cit­i­zens.

They were greet­ed on the wharf by the gov­er­nor-gen­er­al, Sir Solomon Ho­choy, La­dy Ho­choy, Er­ic Williams and his daugh­ter Er­i­ca.

She trav­elled around the coun­try, lay­ing a wreath on the Ceno­taph, vis­it­ing the Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies at St. Au­gus­tine, dri­ving through San Fer­nan­do, and at­tend­ing a ral­ly of school­child­ren at Queen's Park.

On 8 Feb­ru­ary, Eliz­a­beth opened the new ses­sion of par­lia­ment the first reign­ing monarch to do so. In her speech from the throne she out­lined the gov­ern­ment's plan for 1966.

She prayed that God would give the strength and stead­fast­ness to the gov­ern­ment and the na­tion to keep the path they had freely elect­ed to pur­sue.

Trinidad and To­ba­go Car­ni­val was sched­uled for a fort­night lat­er, but the peo­ple staged a pre­view for the roy­al cou­ple. Some of the per­form­ers rep­re­sent­ed his­tor­i­cal char­ac­ters, and Eliz­a­beth was re­port­ed­ly amused by a man dressed as King Hen­ry VI­II.

Lat­er, she said, "if this is just a pre­view sam­ple the re­al thing must be fab­u­lous".

On 10 Feb­ru­ary, Eliz­a­beth and Philip went on a 20-mile state dri­ve in the is­land of To­ba­go, dur­ing which they vis­it­ed Fort George, and saw the en­tire west­ern sec­tion of the is­land. They had a buf­fet lunch at the Crown Point Ho­tel and in the af­ter­noon at­tend­ed a gar­den par­ty at the Gov­er­nor-Gen­er­al's To­bag­on­ian res­i­dence. In the same evening, they left the coun­try in the roy­al yacht for Grena­da.

A set of four stamps were re­leased to com­mem­o­rate the Queen's first roy­al vis­it to the coun­try in 1966.

In 2009, she called up­on Com­mon­wealth lead­ers to adopt Trinidad and To­ba­go’s na­tion­al mot­to in or­der to find con­sen­sus on burn­ing is­sues such as cli­mate change, dur­ing their de­lib­er­a­tions over the Com­mon­wealth heads of Gov­ern­ment Meet­ing at the Hy­att Re­gency in Port-of-Spain.

She al­so at­tend­ed a ban­quet host­ed by Pres­i­dent George Maxwell Richards at Pres­i­dent's House.
