From Farida to Khadija

From 71 years ago the Egyptians saw indirectly the images of the Crown Prince of Egypt aka Prince of Upper Egypt while a Royal vacation in the icy mountain of Switzerland along with his future wife who would become later the Queen of Egypt and hearts till now

The Egyptian Royal family in a holiday

And now the Lebanese magazines began to spot light on Gamal Mubarak's future wife Khadija El-Gamal, "Laha" women magazine made a photographic report needs "Adobe Reader" about the young lady ,she was on the cover

No further information there then we know , from her education, hobbies and so , same thing for the pictures most of the pictures we saw it in the Daafos conference in Sharm El-Shekih , and of coure the pictures that we did n't have the opportunity to see in Egypt and by this I mean the Elie Saab fashion show if you remember

Strangely no Egyptian newspaper or magazine made a report like that about her ,she is enigma ,I don't know why they don't like to share these information with the Egyptian People but happy to share it with the rest of the Arab population from Lebanon and Gulf ,I mean that we don't know the fact that her friends use to call her "Mony" man "Dija" seems better

You Know I am really happy because a magazine like Laha always in every edition there must be two or three pages dedicated to the activities of Queen Rania of Jordan and Syria's first lady "Asama El-Assad" ,so it is good to have an Egyptian Presence after all when all those dear Arab first ladies and queens were never shown to public nor had any public activity what so ever Queen Farida and Empress Fawzia were in every Magazine from Time to Paris Match to Life cv021438

  3. Farida is Indeed charismatic. But that familly was not egyptian. they are the descendants of illetrate barbarian albanian slaves..........their blood is not noble.. the throne of Egypt must have been given to one of the Asharaf of assyout or sohag. Anyway, nasser settled the score with those low life slaves....

  5. they are Egyptian by citizenship ,have read about citizenship ,plus they are not illetrate barbarian Albnain slaves , simple the illetrate Albanian is the founder of modern Egypt
    A man that scared the west
    second of all I don't like call other by the these insults because I am Muslim
    I agree with Tarek
    by the way my grand father can be considered as a Nationalist ,a real one yet he was the from early who talked fairly about that family,may be because he believed in the Islamic Nationalism which is bigger than the Arabic Nationalism

    Nasser is not from the Asharaf of Assyout or Sohag ,sorry I got relatives from high families there

  8. Interesting post yet again Zeinobia. Were these women part of the Mohammid Ali Dynasty ? If for then yes, they were 'ethnically' Albanion however Mohammid Ali was considered and may still be now, the father of modern Egypt. Zeinobia is also right about citizenship. By nationality and citizenship they were Egyptian so how about some of you leave your racist/elitist ideas in your narrow minded heads. I also think that one of the various kings or someone else from this particular monarchy helped establish the Arab League. Interesting considering they were a sub-division of some sort of the Ottoman Empire. I also think that Mr Ali himself extended Egypts borders at one point to include Gaza as part of Egypt as well.

  9. cont...There are many people in Gaza who have family ties in Egypt because of this. I think there was also a Hashemite presence in Egypt at some point as well. I know that Queen Dina of Jordan, King Husseins first wife, taught at Cairo Univeristy. Interesting stuff.

  10. @anonymous, princess Fawzia was from Mohamed Ali family , where Queen Farida was from Egyptian hight class family
    just to add ur information Mohamed Ali extended our borders till the borders of Turkey and sudan
    Queen Dina was taught and lived
    in Egypt even after the divorce and her daughter Princess Alia till now lives in Egypt
    about Gaza , well I do not think that , I think it is because Gaza is related to Al Arish and Rafah , Rafah was got a Palestinian part and Egyptian part , most of these families are usually from tribes
    still there are several families in Lebanon and Syria whose roots are from Mohammed Ali's Egyptian army

  11. Amre, you clearly come from a poor, illiterate slave family because your comments show a lack of education. First of all, it wasn't Abdel Nasser who removed them from the throne, it was Mohamed Naguib, and second of all, they did this because they wanted a unified Arab nation, not because they were Albanians! Also, this revolution messed up the country and caused a sever overpopulation as well as economic crisis. There was virtually no rich/higher class. All their money was taken and spread out like capitalism! What kind of leader does that? Your family was probably very poor and got some money out of it, that's why your happy. Some families who made their own money had it stolen from them just because they were successful, like mine, and that caused a mess!

    @ Zeinobia

    just to add ur information Mohamed Ali extended our borders till the borders of Turkey and sudan

    It's true that Muhammad Ali extended Egypt's borders to Sudan.

    However the means and consequences of this course of action deserve to be mentioned, othersie the statement on its own is misleading.

    Muhammad Ali extended Egypt's borders into Sudan through illegal invasion and plunder
    and his son Ismail paid the price for it with his life
    and the Mahdist Revolution liberated Sudan from Muhammad Ali's dynasty
    and the British who were pulling the strings in Egypt decided to re-invade the country
    and the Sudanese declared unilateral independence in 1955...

    Is illegal invasion and occupation that was eventually defeated out something to be proud of?

  13. @zeinobia..I read somewhere that they almost took Greece too.. Incredible History!! With so many nations working against Egypt(France,Russia, Great Britain)It is truly amazing that they accomplished so much in such a short time! I love your comments(except for the racist ones)I think it proves, that regardless of past history when Muslims work together they can do wonderful things for their people.. Name calling and racism will do the opposite..
