Queen Elizabeth visited Boston for the bicentenary celebrations of U.S. Independence.

The Queen and Prince Philip also stopped in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and New York City on their 1976 royal visit to the States.

During their day in Boston, they were accompanied by the city's mayor Kevin White (right) and Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis (not pictured). During the day, the Queen toured the Old State House, Old North Church, Boston City Hall, and the USS Constitution.

The streets were packed to get a glimpse of the Queen.

A decade later, Prince Charles, traveled to Boston—well, Cambridge—to celebrate Harvard's 350th anniversary.

Prince Charles (seated, center) gave a keynote address during the weekend, where he was self depreciating and funny: "As an old Cambridge man, and one hailing from a college not more than an easy bicycle ride from John Harvard’s Emmanuel College, I am particularly pleased and proud to be standing here ‘in the Yard.’…I must confess that I am somewhat surprised, as well…because I thought that in Massachusetts they weren’t too certain about the supposed benefits of royalty. Indeed, before coming here I noticed that at least one American newspaper had said it was a definite mistake to invite someone as appallingly undemocratic as The Prince of Wales. It just showed how out of touch Harvard was with the United States, it went on."

Less than a decade later, the Princess Royal arrived at Boston, where she stayed at the Four Seasons and was presented with this ginormous bouquet.

The most recent royal visit to Boston was by Prince Edward, over two decades ago. He was in town to receive the Bette Davis Special Achievement Award at Boston University for his documentary filmmaking.

OK, this isn't Boston, but the Boston Red Sox were in London, and Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex met the team (and met the Yankees, who were also there). It's basically like they visited Boston, right?
