 When a group of Iranian emissaries arrived in Cairo bearing gifts from Reza Khan such as a "diamond necklace, diamond brooch, diamond earrings", Farouk was not impressed, taking the Iranian delegation on a tour of his five palaces to show them proper royal splendor and asked if there was anything comparable in Iran.Nonetheless, Farouk agreed in a joint press communique issued with Reza Khan on 26 May 1938 that Princess Fawzia would marry Crown Prince Mohammad Reza, who first learned that he was now engaged to Fawzia when he read the press release.Farouk broke with Muslim tradition by taking Queen Farida everywhere with him, and letting her go unveiled.
