Into Vevey, Switzerland, for the wedding of Bulgaria's ex-King Simeon, 24, to a Spanish banking heiress, bounced Egypt's suety ex-King Farouk, 41, accompanied by second daughter Princess Fawzia, 21. Europe's reigning royalty was conspicuously absent, but 180 lesser bloods crammed into the small Russian Orthodox chapel, where only three seats were set up-for the three onetime monarchs among them. While Bulgaria's ex-Queen loanna and Albania's ex-Queen Geraldine democratically declined to use theirs, Farouk sat down in lonely, perspiring splendor...

After six years of house arrest in a Cairo suburb, Major General Mohammed Naguib, original "strongman" of Egypt's 1952 revolution against King Farouk, was once again at liberty.

Commuting between his children and Rome, Farouk is now trying to be a model papa. Always a nonsmoking teetotaler, he has even given up his night...
...leave the hospital that afternoon, a shouting, jostling mob surrounded his car and forced it to a halt. Police had to unlimber fire hoses to restore order. Farah Diba had succeeded where two before her had failed. The Shah's first wife, Fawzia, sister of Egypt's then King Farouk, bore him a daughter but no son, and he divorced her in 1948. His seven-year marriage to Soraya, handsome daughter of a German-Iranian family, proved barren. His throne is none too secure, and the Shah and his advisers were convinced that a male heir was imperative...
