# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Fawzia was born in 1921, daughter of Egypt's King Fuad I, and at eighteen became the first wife of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, then Iran's Crown Prince. The marriage was arranged to shore up Egyptian regional influence and lend the upstart Iranian monarchy a sheen of legitimacy through blood ties to a more established throne. The press called her the "sad queen." She divorced him under Egyptian law in 1948, leaving their daughter Shahnaz to be raised in Iran, and the following year married an Egyptian diplomat, Colonel Ismail Chirine, with whom she had two more children. After the 1952 revolution toppled Egypt's monarchy, Fawzia withdrew into silence and isolation, never publishing the court memories she alone could have written, and died in 2013 at ninety-one.
