This photograph captures the regal elegance of the Marriage of Farouk I of Egypt and Farida, his first wife, who was known as Queen Farida after their union in 1938. Farouk I, the tenth ruler from the esteemed Muhammad Ali Dynasty and the penultimate King of Egypt and Sudan, succeeded his father, Fuad I, in 1936. The royal wedding took place in Egypt and was a grand affair, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Egyptian monarchy. Farouk I is depicted in his regal attire, adorned with the insignia of his position. His bride, Farida, looks radiant in her stunning wedding gown, adorned with intricate beadwork and flowers, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Egypt.

The marriage produced three daughters, but the couple divorced in 1948. Despite the separation, this photograph remains a testament to the grandeur and historical significance of the Egyptian monarchy during the reign of Farouk I.
