Description
Egyptian Princess weds despite King's order -- San Francisco: -- Princess Fathia of Egypt and her commoner husband, Riad Ghali, drink toast following their Moslem marriage here this evening. The union had been forbidden by the bride's brother, King Farouk. Tonight's ceremony joined them in the eyes of the Church, though they had already wed in civil ceremony several weeks ago. As a result of their romance, the Princess' passport has been canceled and she, Ghali and Queen Mother Nazli have all been ordered home by Farouk. Immigration Authorities have given them until June 16 to leave the U.S.
