THE START OF THE STORY

One day, in 1907, on the shore of the Nile in the neighborhood of Zamalek, Egypt, one of the most beautiful palaces in Cairo was built by Ali Fahmy Pasha, brother of Aisha Fahmy, Aisha Fahmy. Designed by the famous Italian architect at that time, Antonio Lachak, the palace was built in the classical style. But this is not the whole start.

Fahmy Pasha had four daughters Fatima, Aisha, Aziza and Zainab and only one boy Ali. He enjoyed his life so that the press nicknamed him "the Prince of Youth."

Ali Fahmy was less than twenty years old when he became one of the wealthiest people in the country after he inherited his father’s wealth. He spent money lavishly, lived a leisurely life, knew many women, went to nightclubs, and his news filled society tabloids of that time.

He built the palace and spent a lot of money on it to look like an architectural masterpiece, and he brought the most expensive furniture from Europe. The young Egyptian millionaire ended up falling in love with a French woman called Marguerite Miller.

As a result of the spouses' different cultures, the differences and problems between them increased. After only six months of marriage, in the summer of 1923 and during a trip to London, a quarrel broke out between them, and Margaret fired three bullets at her husband, killing him.

Soheir Abdel Hamid, a researcher in the history of Egyptian palaces, pointed out that the palace witnessed many events between stories of marriage, divorce, murder and betrayal as if it had put a curse on its owners.

The world-famous English lawyer Sir Marshall Moll, was responsible for the case, and he asked for the innocence of his client Margaret Miller, accusing the husband of being ‘an eastern savage’.

Marshall's argument in the case turned it from being a quarrel between a married couple, which ended with a crime, to a conflict between the East and the West. Miller obtained her acquittal after days of deliberations in court and came to Egypt to claim her share of her husband's estate, and although she was acquitted in London under the act of self-defense, she failed because there is a legitimate legal rule in Egypt that the murderer has no right to the inheritance of the murdered. Then, the palace became the property of Ali's sister, Aisha Fahmy.
