No, it’s not speculation.

Heads of State meeting other Heads of State is generally a significant news event, and are therefore reported. I have compared a list of all Queens of Islamic countries since approximately 1961* with list of Popes looking for such meetings. I have found none, except for this current meeting between Pope Frances and Queen Rania of Jordan, and one previous meeting between Pope Benedict and Queen Rania in 2009. I am confident there have been no other meetings between a Pope and any Queen of an Islamic nation, because they would have been reported and come up in the search I did.

Have Popes met Moslem Kings - yes, on numerous occasions. I’ve never seen any indication that any Pope bowed in such an encounter, but I would not be horrified if they had, nor would it breach protocol if they had. But there is a difference between the manners a gentleman is likely to show to a lady, and those that might show to another man.

*I used the 1961 date because it corresponds with the ‘modern’ period of diplomatic relations and protocols being defined under the Vienna Convention.

"No Pope has never met with a Queen from a Moslem nation before - or more accurately, having checked for any evidence of any previous meeting between a Pope, and the Queens of Bahrain, Brunei, Malaysia, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait (the Islamic Monarchies that have Queens) - no such evidence seems to be available and such evidence should be available if they occurred - so it is impossible for anybody to show evidence that he treated such people differently in the past. It's the first time he has ever met with them. So we cannot look for Islamic Queens as any type of precedence."

"I have found none, except for this current meeting between Pope Frances and Queen Rania of Jordan, and one previous meeting between Pope Benedict and Queen Rania in 2009.

OK, so this is the first Mohammedan Queen he bowed to, you don't think Popes bowed to the other, or others, nor the many Muslim Kings that they have met.

I don't know that the article wants to stop at 1961 like you do, but so far, I still don't see where all your passion is coming from as you keep working so hard against this article, with such little success.
