EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, King Farouk and his new Queen, Farida, proudly stand together on the balcony of Egypt's Royal Palace in Cairo, acknowledging the ovation of the adoring crowd below. Taken in 1938, this image captures a moment of pure joy and unity between the royal couple and their loyal subjects. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of the bustling city of Cairo, where thousands of people from the countryside had flocked to greet the newlywed bride and bridegroom. The unofficial celebrations continued for several days, with the streets filled with music, dancing, and festivities. King Farouk, the last monarch of Egypt, had married his cousin, Princess Farida, in a grand ceremony held at the palace. The marriage was a significant event in Egyptian history, as it marked the beginning of a new era for the kingdom. The couple's appearance on the balcony was one of many they made to satisfy the demands of the loyal Cairenes, who had eagerly awaited a glimpse of their beloved monarch and his new queen. The enthusiasm and excitement of the crowd are palpable in this photograph, as they cheer and wave flags in the air, their faces filled with joy and wonder. This image is a testament to the deep connection between the Egyptian people and their monarchy, a bond that would endure for many years to come. It is a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of history that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
