Childhood

As a child in Paris, Fawzia discovered, in the family collections of books, paintings, lithographs and black and white photographs, the golden legend of the Egyptian royal family, the beauty of the sultanas and the Circassians, as well as the modernity of the Egyptian princesses, wildly beautiful and influential women. Her grandmother, Queen Narriman, told her about life in the past in the palaces bordering the Nile and the Mediterranean. She prepared and taught her the culinary recipes of the court, while transmitting to her a love of Egypt.

Her father, HM Fouad II, the last king of Egypt, also passed on to her his passion for the country. To soften their exile, the young princess spent memorable hours at the Louvre Museum with him, where she marveled and studied in detail the treasures and aesthetics of ancient Egypt, in preparation for a long-awaited trip on the Nile that would finally take place when she was 9 years old.

Studies

From her French mother and grandmother, Fawzia gets her Parisian chic and artistic streak. At the 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 obtained her diploma from Sciences Po-Strasbourg and a master's degree in Cultural Project Management at Paris VIII. Fawzia then immersed herself in linguistic and anthropological studies of the Mediterranean at INALCO.

In Spain, she studied History at the University of Granada and began creating jewelry.
