Synopsis

Princess Nevine Abbas Halim unveils a glimpse into the world of Egypt's royal family which reigned from 185 until King Farouk's abdication in 1952.

She traces her lineage back to the illustrious Mohamed Ali Pasha, the visionary founder of the royal dynasty and modern Egypt, as well as his opulent grandson, Khedive Ismail, the most extravagant ruler of his time.

Drawing upon her personal diary and those of her mother and grandmother, her account spans the First and Second World Wars, unfolding across Egypt, Europe and the United States, and traces her life from privilege and glamour to exile and estrangement.

Gossip, palace intrigue, romance, and Egyptian royals dancing perilously close to the edge, as it all fell apart, Diaries of an Egyptian Princess is a visual journey complemented by 132 photographs from the royal family albums.

Born in 1930, Princess Nevine Helim was the oldest of three children. Her father was Prince Abbas Halim, the rebel prince and daring pilot who once flew alongside the legendary Red Baron during the First World War. His commitment to social justice placed him in opposition to King Fuad, in a clash of wills that resulted in his imprisonment.

Princess Nevine Halim passed away April 7, 2023 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
