ROYAL VISIT TO ETHIOPIA

(20 Nov 1958) The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester arrived in Addis Ababa and were welcomed by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. After the warm exchange of greetings, the Guard of Honour, mounted by troops of the Imperial Army, was inspected. Soon after their arrival, the Duke and Duchess drove to the Imperial Palace and were received by their host, the Empress, and members of their family and court. The Duke presented a letter from the Queen expressing her admiration for Ethiopia's progress. The Duke and Duchess were residing at the Jubilee Palace, an impressive building maintained for the use of distinguished visitors to the country. The State programme opened with a reception and banquet, given by the Emperor. The British Ambassador, Mr Geoffrey Furlonge, and his wife were among the many British and Ethiopian guests.

While the Emperor's people starved to death and still do.

[@amdetsion3256]

Please stop lying. Ethiopians didn't starve. Most of the country is plentiful. Just because a famine happened in Tigrai and Wello in 1970s and 80's doesn't mean the whole country was suffering like your media would have you believe.

Seamore Butts simply google the wello drama and his 85th birthday bash. He imported cakes and champagne from France, while women and children’s starved to death in masses. Hello!!! Don’t forget, he also committed atrocities against the defense less women & children in Eritrea.
