Which British monarch visited the United States from July 6 to 11, 1976, for the Bicentennial?

Queen Elizabeth II visited the United States from July 6 to 11, 1976, for the Bicentennial.

The visit took place during the celebration of American independence and included stops in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New York City, New Haven, Charlottesville, Providence, and Boston. President Gerald Ford received the queen on July 7.

Queen Elizabeth II traveled with her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The visit combined official diplomacy with Bicentennial observances and public appearances, including events connected to the international celebration.

It was the second state visit Queen Elizabeth II made to the United States as monarch. Her 1976 trip is sometimes confused with her later visits, especially the 1957 and 1983 state visits, but the July 1976 journey was specifically associated with the 200th anniversary celebrations.
