Original Note:
The image does not show Queen Elizabeth II bowing to Haile Selassie I, but the presentation of diplomats and their wives, at Selassie's palace in 1955. Empress Menen Asfaw pictured died in 1962. The Queen did not visit Ethiopia for the first time until 1965. https://hoaxeye.com/2019/03/31/haile-selassie-and-queen-elizabeth-ii/ https://factcheck.afp.com/british-monarchs-first-visit-ethiopia-came-10-years-after-photo-was-taken https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-queen-elizabeth-not-bowing-ethiopia-179342106838 https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-selassie-elizabethii-idUSL1N2LM26S https://checkyourfact.com/2021/03/03/fact-check-queen-elizabeth-bowing-ethiopian-emperor-haile-selassie/ https://www.liberation.fr/checknews/2018/03/15/la-reine-elizabeth-ii-s-est-elle-agenouillee-devant-l-empereur-ethiopien-haile-selassie-ier_1653281/ https://youtu.be/w4Qnm4g0_o0
