Life and family

She was born into a Jewish family in Paris as the daughter of Jewish-Alsatian archaeologist Prof. David-Robert Loeb and his French-Swiss wife, Paule-Madeleine Picard. When she was a student of 29 years of age, she wrote her doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne on the psychology of women in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights.[2]

Marriage and divorce

She met and began her courtship with deposed king Fuad II, then they married civilly on 16 April 1976 in Paris. Later, on 5 October 1977, they married religiously in Monaco. Although she married Fuad II long after the loss of his throne, she was still styled as Her Majesty Queen Fadila of Egypt by monarchists.[3]

Fadila choose a Turkish yashmak as her bridal headcraft, symbolising her conversion to her husband's religion.

The marriage ended in divorce in 1996, and afterwards she was styled as Her Royal Highness Princess Fadila of Egypt. The marriage was dissolved in 2008, and her royal style and title were removed by Fuad II. In 2002, her apartment in Paris was taken from her due to her outstanding debts.[4]

gollark: Columns are declared in order *too*, but that really shouldn't be relied in like the python API does.
gollark: In SQLite they do actually, there's an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY rowid column unless you disable that explicitly.
gollark: Which is still HIGHLY dodecahedral and dependent on columns' order.
gollark: I'm not actually entirely sure, but it would involve a bunch of meddling with a "cursor", and you would have to get each column by index instead of name.
