Iraq’s last princesses Badiya Bint Ali dies aged 100

Princess Badiya bint Ali, a survivor of the bloody 1958 coup that ended her family’s rule in Iraq, has died at the age of 100.

Princess Badiya died in London where she had lived in exile. She was the last of Iraq’s princesses.

Iraq’s new prime minister, Mustafa Al Kadhimi, tweeted on Sunday to mark her passing.

“With the passing of Princess Badiya bint Ali, a bright and important chapter of Iraq’s modern history ends,” he wrote. “She was part of a political and societal era that represented Iraq in the best of ways. May she rest in peace and my sincere condolences to her family and loved ones.”
