PHIMGESS SAYS SHE WOULD
FOLLOW HUSBAND AMYWHERE
Australian Associated Press
QAN FRANCISCO, Sun. - Egypt's Princess Fathia, when informed that her commoner hus
?^ band might be deported from the United States, said: "I would follow him anywhere
in the world."
J>IAD GHALI (31), who married
King Farouk's 19-year-old sis-
ter in a civil ceremony in San Fran-
cisco on April 25, had just learned
unofficially that his diplomatic pass-
port had been withdrawn.
A State Department spokesman in
Washington said this information
had been received from the Egyptian
Embassy.
The maller had now been re-
ferred to the United Stales Immi-
gration service.
The Egyptian Embassy's Press
officer said he expected the "palace"
shortly would ¡request the diplo-
matic visas of the princess and the
Queen Mother Nazli, who approves
the romance in defiance of King
Farou'k's wishes.
. Ghali, nervously pacing his mir-
ror-lined hotel suite, said he had
not been informed officially of any
change in his status as a member
of the Egyptian consular corps.
He denied reports he. was unable
to support his wife.
"But I never see her alone," he
added dejectedly.
Ghali and the princess are liv-
ing in separate suites.
They are awaiting the outcome of
a Crown Council meeting in Cairo
next Saturday to pass judgment on
the validity of the marriage.
But, regardless of the council's
finding, they plan a second wedding
in San Francisco under Moslem rites
before the council meets.
Ghali is a Coptic Christian.
