Princess Fadila in Baghdad

This past February, Iraq experienced a splendid historic event, in one of its happiest of days, during the visit of Her Highness Princess Fadila, the fiancée of His Majesty King Faisal II. The entire Iraqi people had been in great eagerness to meet its queen-to-be, after the newspapers and word of mouth had carried the good news about her and about her fineness of both form and character.

The Youngest Queen in the World

Princess Fadila arrived as an honored guest in the company of her parents, Prince Muhammad Ali Ibrahim and

Princess Hanzad, granddaughter of Sultan Vahideddin. Her Highness is no more than sixteen years of age, and she will thereby become the youngest queen in the world!
