Princess Fathiya was born on 17 December 1930 in the Vermont Hotel in San Francisco, California, USA. She was of Turkish, Albanian, French, and Circassian descent. Her father died when she was six years old. She was raised mostly close to her mother and her sister Princess Faiqa. In 1948, she travelled with her sister Princess Faiqa and her mother to the United States for her mother needed to make a kidney surgery.
After her mother's surgery succeeded, she settled in the United States for a long time, and in 1949, her sister Princess Faiqa married Fuad Sadek. After a while and in 1950, she herself married Riyad Ghali, their Royal Advisor, who was 11 years her senior, and was a Christian who converted to Islam. In 1950, the King made a Royal Decree that states that Queen Nazli, Princess Faiqa, and Princess Fathiya would get all their riches and titles removed. Princess Faiqa went back to Egypt in 1951 to get back her title, and she did, and her husband Fuad Sadek got the "Bekdom" or held the title "Fuad Bek Sadek". Princess Fathiya and her mother settled in the United States for the rest of her life, having many troubles that made her reach to living in a small flat in California. Later in 1973, she got divorced from Riyad Ghali because it was his fault that made them loose everything. Later, when her mother's jewelry was sold for $1,500,000, they got a small sea-view house in Santa Monica. And then, her mother sent a request to President Anwar El-Sadat to retrieve their Egyptian Passports. And they did.
Princess Fathiya's death was very tragic. On 10 December 1976, the day she was returning to Egypt, she went to her ex-husband's house by the excuse of "taking Ghali's mother's (Galila) clothes". When she went, she found Ghali drunk, and not wanting her to leave, and using his revolver, he shot her with 6 shots in her head. Then, Ghali covered her body with his mother's clothes, and tried to kill himself with six shot on his head, and 2 in his mouth, but he survived.
Princess Fathiya and Riyad Ghali had three children, two sons and a doughter:
