Childhood

In her childhood in Paris, Fawzia discovers, within the family collections of books, paintings, lithographs, and black-and-white photos, the golden legend of the Egyptian royal family, the beauty of the sultanas and the Cherkesses, as well as the modernity of Egyptian princesses, women who are wildly beautiful and influential. Her grandmother, Queen Narriman, tells her about life in the palaces lining the Nile and the Mediterranean. She prepares and teaches her the culinary recipes of the court, while passing on her love for Egypt.

Her father, H.M. Fouad II, the last king of Egypt, also passes on his passion for the country. To soften their exile, the young princess spends memorable hours at the Louvre Museum with him, where she marvels at and meticulously studies the treasures and aesthetics of ancient Egypt, in preparation for a long-awaited trip on the Nile that will finally take place when she is 9 years old.

Studies

From her French mother and grandmother, Fawzia inherits her Parisian chic and artistic flair. At Janson de Sailly high school, she dreams of sailing again and again on the Nile, her mind filled with arabesques, animated frescoes, and mythical stories. After growing up between Paris, Switzerland, Rabat, and Monaco in this enchanting atmosphere, she graduates from Sciences Po-Strasbourg and earns a master's degree in Cultural Project Management at Paris VIII. Fawzia then immerses herself in linguistic and anthropological studies of the Mediterranean at INALCO.

In Spain, she studies History at the University of Granada and begins to learn about jewelry making.
