Somewhat less famous than former queen of Egypt Hatshepsut or former queen of Egypt Nefertiti or former queen of Egypt Cleopatra. What has Fouad been doing since 1953? Gambling on the French Riviera?

For a family of Albanian upstarts, the Egyptian royal family had a pretty good run.

O great. Now THEIR relatives are gonna send me e-mails, wanting me to help them launder $16.7 million, of which I'll get 10% of course.

Ya know, SPAM is a pain in the ass, but it's a great way to learn about what's going on in Africa...
