Egyptian royalty in color?

Weren't they overthrown many decades ago?


Also, I don't think the aga khans count as "royals".

I don't understand your comment about Egyptian Royals. Are you saying that there are no Egyptian royals alive today? If so, then I'd like to inform you that the 1952 coup was bloodless and no body was killed! So I don't get why they wouldn't be alive today.
If you mean that they are no longer royals since they were deposed, then I would say.....semantics! Why would I put only black and white ones and not color ones

Also, the Agha Khan title was bestowed upon them by the Qajar Shah of Persia. It's a title of nobility. Also they are titled prince, princess, begum and countless many other titles...Look them up in the peerage books, including Burke's and the Almanach de Gotha.

Gee mate, they sure don't look like they follow Islamic laws. Maybe they didn't claim to be Islamic in the first place either. Are your royals popular with the public?

[KWT]

Well, not all people in the Middle East walk around wearing burqas if that's what you mean. There are a lot of secular people as well as religious ones.

As for their popularity, opinion differs. Some people are monarchists and some aren't, just like anywhere in the world. Also some of these families no longer reign (like Iran and Egypt). The Iranians overthrew their monarchy in favor of a religious, theocratic state and the Egyptians overthrew theirs in favor of a secular, socialist-leaning republic (that has transmogrified into a dictatorship). So, believe it or not, people in the ME have their own opinions and they aren't ALL drones to Islam or religion.

In general royalties are more liberal than the public and their popularity vary from country to another.

Many thanks. However, I am looking for the origin of this published drawing, like:
the title of the book, author, artist, year, etc.. All I could make out is that the text
below the drawing is in English. Any further info would be most welcome. Thanks in
advance.
