Meeting Farouk

Farouk divorced his first wife, Queen Farida, in 1948, after a ten-year marriage in which she had produced three daughters, but no male heir.

Marriage to King Farouk

Known as the "Cinderella of the Nile" for her middle class background, Nariman was 16 when she married Farouk in May 1951.

Extremely plump, she was put on a weight-loss program to please her future husband and schooled in court etiquette. The bride's gown was embroidered with 20,000 diamonds and all wedding presents made of gold were melted down into ingots after the ceremony.
