Original Note:
That photo does not show Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip bowing for Haile Selassie I as is sometimes claimed. It shows unidentified guests bowing at an event in 1955, years before the British Royal family visited Ethiopia. Elizabeth didn't have to bow to him. https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/fbchecks/no-photo-doesnt-show-britains-queen-elizabeth-bowing-ethiopias-empress-asfaw https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-selassie-elizabethii/fact-check-photo-does-not-show-queen-elizabeth-ii-and-prince-philip-bowing-to-ethiopian-emperor-haile-selassie-and-empress-menen-asfaw-idUSL1N2LM26S https://hoaxeye.com/2019/03/31/haile-selassie-and-queen-elizabeth-ii/ https://youtu.be/46l17LlB6-M https://www.newspapers.com/clip/107672436/queen-elizabeths-schedule-2nd-november/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/107672730/queen-elizabeths-schedule-on-the-4th/
