Press Release by HRH King Ahmed Fouad II – Copied from HRH’s Official Page
Almost 80 years after the wedding of Princess Fawzia,daughter of King Fouad I; Princess Fawzia, the daughter of King Fouad II got married.
On the one hand, there were some coincidental similarities between the festivities that reflected the traditions of the family. On the other hand, there were contradictions that reflected the difference in time.
As the senior Princess married a foreign prince (Crown Prince of Iran, Prince Mohammad Pahlavi), the younger princess also married a foreigner, whom she chose to be the prince of her heart, the French electronic engineer, Silvan Reynodu.
As the celebrations of thesenior Princess’s wedding extended for many weeks on the land of Egypt and Iran, to reflect the greatness and grandeur of the era, and to conclude in Iran, also the young Princess’s wedding ceremonies were extended for many months, due to the circumstances of the couple and the legal and civil marriage procedures in western societies. The ceremonies ended at her father’s residence in the Swiss countryside with a Sunni religious celebration, conducted by Sheikh Dalil Boubakeur, rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, and Sheikh Galoul Bouzidi, imam of the mosque, who both came specially from France to perform the traditional Islamic marriage ceremony.
Unlike the legendary event in 1939, the 2019 marriage ceremony was private and simple, attended only by 60 close friends and family members, headed by His Majesty King Fouad II and Crown Prince Muhammad Ali and his wife Princess Nawal Zahir Shah; Prince Fakhruddin; Prince Hussein Touson and his wife Princess Mounira Toussoun; Princess Malik Per Toussoun; Princess Farial daughter of King Farouk, her husband Ali Sharaoui Pasha and their daughter Yasmin Shaarawi; Mr. Sasha Orlov, the son of Princess Fadia, daughter of King Farouk and his sons; Mr. Hussein Fakhri, Princess Shweikar’s grandson and his wife Mrs. Sherifa Rashad; Princess Fatima of Afghanistan, mother of Princess Nawal and mother-in-law of Prince Mohamed Ali; Dr. Zalmay Rasool, Former Secretary of King Zahir Shah of Afghanistan; Prince Haris Shehab Siddiq, Former Foreign Minister of Afghanistan and childhood friend of His Majesty King Fouad II, the groom’s parents; Mr. Jean Reynodu,his wife Mrs. Edith Reynoduand the groom’s sister Stephany Reynodu.
The wedding was also attended by members of the Egyptian community in Switzerland; Mr. Youssef Makar Pasha, Mr. Rashid Taymour and his wife Martin Taymour; and Mrs. May Bakhtiar, wife of Asfandiar Bakhtiar, son of Taymour, the Prime Minister of the Shah of Iran. Several ambassadors, diplomats and politicians attended informally. Also attended, the Honorary President of the Lawyers’ Union, Antoine Khairallah, Consultant in International Law; and the Princess’s friends from France and Italy.
Friends of the family attended from Egypt including, Mrs. Rawia Mansour; Dr. Ihab Yousef and her wife MP. Dalia Youssef and historian Dr. Maged Farag Pasha, Spokesman for His Majesty King Fouad II

Which is totally haram by the way and you are writing an article as though nothing is wrong with the Egyptian community as a whole and she’s not a traitor, and nothing is wrong with her pimp father and nothing is wrong with a French guy who just wants to offend people by sleeping with an Egyptian woman. Well anyway long live the revolution!

The author of the comment by the name of Amale Beshouty whom I know personally, does not correctly describe what views they express by their negative comment. The author has been living in Belgium and France and has been harassed multiple time by people who resemble the couple in the news article. Basically European men who have relationships with Egyptian women, but then become Muslim, or Anti Semetic, or sexually harass someone like the female author of the comment above. The author was living in France and has Moroccan and Egyptian origin and naturally tried to at some point to become aquinted with other females of the Egyptian community, only to be harassed repeatedly between 2019-2022 in Paris and Nice. This is obviously because the author has some type of personality that is not in line with their general cultural adherances. The comment thus does not mean that the author is solely against intercultural marriages but she questioned those specific type of relationships where female Egyptians in her experience almost act to turn European men into tools for anything in favor of either cultural Muslim or Arab nationalistic activity. The author themselves is someone who is very active in intercultural relations with Jewish and zionist people. Nothing wrong with that but I though the comment doesn’t describe their views accurately. Now the author does generally not like Egyptian women and thinks they are generally very hypocrites and have some grudge against her, after these experiences offcourse. The author basically doesn’t like the idea of European men becoming so Muslim in love with arab women but doesn’t necessarily dislike the other way around. That’s the truth. Offer the author a few beers and nice night out and she is all loose. If the revolution served any interest in opposing people who made European men Muslim then that’s where she said long live the revolution but I can tell you she really doesn’t have an idea what she is talking about.

Moreover, from what I understood the author has always held the personal believe that the State of Israel should have always held sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and the so called gaza strip appreciates some form of superiority for Jews over Arabs in Israel even though she does not incite hate or violence or racism, she hates the sounds of the Mosques so loud in Egypt and other places, and thinks mosques in Israel should make no sound, regardless of what is going on in her life and does not like to see Egyptian people, and thinks all Israelies should keep peace treaties with Arab countries including Egypt for the sake of maintaining a social distance from those Egyptians she does not want to see and be near her and thinks the Israelies should feel the same way about leaving Egyptians behind a fence because they are very good at being hypocrites and we’re good at it during the years of war falling Israelies by acting as loyal according to her words. Very interesting. If that doesn’t sound like Heba Selim.

furthermore she thinks they are so hypocrites that they tried to bump up her comment and this article from 2019 in the google search results while she was interacting with some type of zionist entity to try to communicate to the that she is Muslim, while they know she hates THEIR loud Mosque sound, and leftist agendas, if that’s not them treating her like another Heba Selim and try to somehow force her closer to THEM instead of zionism. That’s all I wanted to say.

Furthermore, she says they are soooo hypocrites that they bumped up this article from 2019 in the google search result this year, to show her name with the comment while she is interacting in front of them with some zionist entity in order to falsely describe her to them a a Muslim while they know she is in fact not in line with THEIR religious and cultural views if that’s not a covert way of trying to force her I directly to be distanced from zionism and brought closer to them like they did with Heba Selim. It’s not just governments that pursued and pursues people Like Heba Selim but also other entities including just the “community, and others not necessarily acting in official capacity.

From what I understood, the author of the comment said one time she was not solely talking about Muslim Egyptian women but also Coptic Egyptian Women. She mentioned to me that Coptic Egyptians were almost in her experiences more hypocrites and continously sought to report her to the Muslim community as not a fit person. They were her neighbours when she was 17, underage according to European law, and helped her parents commit some type of violent crime against her which I cannot mention here in detail. This happened according to her while some people in official capacity, at least knew according to her realization of the events (apparently her father had a second wife who was from Berkan Morocco but raised outside Morocco doesn’t speak Moroccan, and she was evil or something and affliated with that government) knew basically just as those Coptic neighbours her parents were planning this violent act if not faciliated, and therefore allowed it to happen when she was 17 and not 18. They also reported her when at some point she was in Egypt and Approached them asking them to help her find a place to stay away from the loud Egyptian mosques that were doing their whole ritual through the microphone, and instead reported her to the community and who knows what else, and SOME Coptics, told her they listen to the quran and that the Israelies are their enemies. While this is not necessarily the view of all Coptics thats how in her experiences all of the ones she met and some she didnt meet were acting towards her. She stated these realities went on until the present time from their side as much as possible as if its some type of experiment, interfering as much as possible with her right to a private life basically like vey concerned about what she does in her private life. I can understand though that this part makes her hold the view that the Egyptians are generally very good at being hypocrites people. I can understand she found out thats Very Coptic of them too. I think the author Amale did not understand that these anti zionist ideas are deeply routed in both Coptic and Muslim history and were also influenced by the later interactions with Nazi and Colonial entities including mixed marriages, that themselves did fight against Jewish people who fought for liberation and later the armies that fought for the creation of Israel. I am only addressing her comment and it’s not a place to engage in some historic discussion about what is correct and what is not. I think while she may have not understood that correctly ahe may be right that there has been more attempted interference with her private life than the usual. Maybe, I personally dont know because I am not Egyptian. She is free believe and do what she wants, its a democracy, and draw conclusions based on her own experiences, but I thought noticed the comment could be used to say she is Muslim while THEY are the loose folks which is not true. I think she should have been more clear in her comments. Them insinuating such facts is in fact hypocrites and holds false intentions not only towards her but also towards their audience. That’s all I could say here.

She also described her believe as someone who knows she has Moroccan ancestry from her maternal grandmother, that it’s very weird that while Moroccan people are very distinguished people that there are so many Moroccan women married to Egyptian men. She also felt she was generally treated as an immigrant in when visiting Egypt in all sorts of contexts for her Moroccan ancestry as if its something recorded or recognized by her Moroccan less Egyptian appearance. While she was told the same negative things about Egyptians, which is my free opinion, by Moroccan women themselves, it’s yet a weird phenomenon that many Moroccan women seek to live in Egypt and meet Egyptian men. This is not to describe Moroccans in a negative way, she said but she remembered in Egypt she noticed that while it is filled with Moroccan women she almost met none especially in venues where they usually work like outdoor venues. It was another part hypocrites of Egyptians that obviously they were telling them not to appear before her as in to decrease any opportunity for leasure or work and anything if you know what I mean and a bit of betrayal from those Moroccans to listen. Like an attitude of telling the Moroccan females, your Ours. It’s not like she didn’t notice that also. I cannot describe my view of THOSE Moroccans according to her here but yeah the notion of being less nice to her and more nice to Egyptians in some context is just beyond comprehension to anyone really, because Moroccans generally believe in freedom of believes and tend to allow more room for disagreement on a social life as opposed to the more less free society that exist in Egyptian and other Arab communities. She is free to Hold and say such view that she thinks such phenomenon is weird or too much in certain places or time just like those who speak against immigration in certain countries or should i say those who speaks against her immigration in some countries. The issue in such matters is just HOW you describe. Her negative comment although not clear was based on accurate experiences and to disregard her experiences and say she is not fit or credible would be a deliberate attack on her freedom while everyone in question should still enjoy some freedom to do what they want.
