EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, taken in January 1938, the young and dashing King Farouk of Egypt (1920-1965) is seen with his radiant bride-to-be, Miss Farida Zulficar (1921-1988), as they prepare for their extravagant and historic wedding. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment, with the future king looking deeply into the eyes of his beloved, while Farida gazes back at him with a smile that speaks volumes of her happiness and devotion. King Farouk, who ascended to the throne at the tender age of 16 following the death of his father, King Fuad I, was known for his love of luxury and extravagance. His choice of bride, the elegant and refined Farida Zulficar, was a popular and respected figure in Egyptian society, and their union was seen as a symbol of hope and renewal for the Egyptian people. The wedding ceremony took place on January 23, 1938, at the Royal Palace in Cairo, in the presence of thousands of invited guests and countless more who gathered outside to catch a glimpse of the royal couple. The festivities lasted for several days, with grand processions, banquets, and cultural performances, reflecting the rich and diverse heritage of Egypt. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Egyptian history and the captivating stories of its royalty. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, romance, and hope, and serves as a reminder of the indelible mark that King Farouk and Farida Zulficar left on the annals of Egyptian history.
