A strange coincidence led the media personality "Rawiya Rashid" to stop in front of one of the small palaces in Beverly Hills suburb in the United States of America, before she discovered that it was the villa of Queen Nazli. She was attracted to the dramatic life of the villa's owner who lived moments of rise to glory and tasted the bitterness of fall, and Rawiya Rashid decided to start a difficult journey through files and records to gather details of Queen Nazli's life from Cairo to Istanbul, from France to the United States, from Iran to Switzerland. Eighty-four years lived by Queen Nazli, more than forty of which she spent as a sultana, queen, and mother of a king, and the other forty years she spent as a lonely woman in exile which she chose willingly when she decided to live between European and American countries with her daughter Princess Fawzia. In this book, the author answers many puzzling questions: Why did Queen Nazli leave Egypt? And why did she defy her son King Farouk and marry her daughter Fawzia to a man of lower status and against her religion? What happened to her over the thirty years, and how did life collapse to the point of declaring her bankruptcy? What drove Riad Ghaly to kill her daughter Fawzia and shoot himself? And how did the years of power and status turn into years of humiliation and pain, to ultimately lose everything... her children, her wealth, and her name?
