Duke of York - Visit - Ras Tafari, Prince Regent of Ethiopia
Albert, Duke of York (1895-1952) accompanies Ras Tafari (1892-1975), the Prince Regent of Ethiopia who visited England in July 1924. Pictured here at Victoria Station, London. The Regent met with King George V and the Prime Minister before his return to Abyssinia, from which as the Emperor Haile Selassie, the Italians were to drive him twelve years later. The Rastafari religion/social movement derives from the pre-regnal title of Haile Selassie
