Memories of an Egyptian princess by her English governess

Memories of an Egyptian Princess written by Eileen Shannels ... The book falls under the genre of autobiographies, as Princess Nivin Abbas Halim belongs to the Egyptian royal family, and her father was the head of the Automobile Club, and Muhammad Ali Pasha was her paternal grandfather. The book narrates her daily life as well as her mother’s and grandmother’s diaries; during an important period, and on a journey that took her between Egypt, Europe, and the United States, lived by a woman who was from the elite, then descended to the lower classes. The princess Nivin also recounts the customs and traditions of the royal family, gossip in the royal court, and stories of princes and princesses dancing on the edge of the abyss. The book includes rare photos of the royal family and Prince Abbas Halim, whom his daughter described in the book as a supporter of workers and farmers, and a pioneer of the labor movement, who founded the first Egyptian labor party. The book contains memoirs and scenes of her and her family from 1915 to 1961.
