Did Queen Elizabeth really throw coins to poor children? Nope, the video in question was filmed in 1899 After news broke of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, social media users in some corners of the internet started sharing a video showing two women, one of them said to be the queen, throwing coins to children. Some people claimed that the video was filmed during the queen’s visit to an “African” colony of the former British Empire. However, it turns out this video doesn’t have any connection to Elizabeth II. It was filmed in Vietnam in 1899— twenty-seven years before she was born.
