Princess Badiya bint Ali

Her father was deposed in 1924, and she followed her family in exile to Iraq, where her uncle had been made king in 1921.

Her brother 'Abd al-Ilah served as regent of Iraq for their nephew king Faisal II, for whom she and especially her sister Abadiya bint Ali acted as mother figures.

She sought refuge in the Saudi Embassy in Baghdad, who arranged a safe flight for her and her husband and sons to Cairo in Egypt.

Afterwards, she and her family lived in exile; she settled in Switzerland and eventually in London, the United Kingdom.

[2] She published her memoirs, which provides a valuable insight into the life of the Iraqi royal family.
