Top 10 Facts About Fawzia Fuad Pahlavi l شاهدخت فوزیه فؤاد l الأميرة فوزية فؤاد

Fawzia Fuad of Egypt ‎was born on November 5th, 1921 and died on July 2nd, 2013. She was also known as Muluk Fawzia of Iran and Fawzia Chirine. She was an Egyptian princess who became Queen of Iran as the first wife of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran.

Fawzia was the daughter of Fuad I, seventh son of Ismail the Magnificent. Her marriage to the Iranian Crown Prince in 1939 was a political deal: it would consolidate Egyptian power and influence in the Middle East, while bringing respectability to the new Iranian regime by association with the much more prestigious Egyptian royal house. It was never a love-match, and Fawzia obtained an Egyptian divorce in 1945, under which their one daughter Princess Shahnaz would be brought up in Iran.

In 1949, Fawzia remarried Colonel Ismail Chirine, an Egyptian diplomat, with whom she would have a son and a daughter.
