Digital Föreläsning - Queen Fawzia of Iran

Föreläsningen

Fawzia was born a Princess of Egypt 1921, the elder sister of King Farouk, and married the Shah of Iran as his first wife. She was a stunningly attractive woman but the marriage did not last and eventually she returned to her beloved Egypt, where she eventually found happiness in spite of the Royal Family’s tribulations and eventual deposition. Her story is both harrowing and inspiring. She died in 2013.

The lecture will be presented in English.
