Early life

Marriage and activities
Princess Faiza did not want to marry a member of the Middle East royal family.[7] Instead, she married to her Turkish cousin Mohammad Ali Bulent Rauf, who was thirty-four years old, in Cairo on 17 May 1945.[8][9][10] Their marriage was arranged through familial relations.[8] He was a Western educated man who was the grandson of Ismail Pasha.[7] King Farouk did not support their marriage, but reluctantly endorsed it.[7] Princess Faiza and her husband lived in the Zohria Palace on Gezira Island in the Nile after their marriage.[1][11]
Princess Faiza was instrumental in Princess Fawzia’s long period of convalescence in Egypt after divorcing from the Shah of Iran in 1948.[12] Fawzia was one of the leading figures of the Red Crescent Society in Egypt during the reign of King Farouk.[13] King Farouk put her and her husband under house arrest due to his suspicion.[1] She and her husband launched a homemade film about a military coup six weeks before the events of 1952.[14] They had no issue, and divorced in 1962.[8][2]
Later life
After the abdication of King Farouk as a result of the 1952 revolution in Egypt, Princess Faiza moved to Istanbul in 1954.[1] Then, she and her husband went to Spain and France.[8] Next, she went to the US and settled in Beverly Hills, leaving her husband in Paris.[8][7] She lived there until her death.[13]
