Sherif Sabri Pasha

Sherif Sabri Pasha during the marriage of Princess Fawzia in 1939.

Sherif Sabri Pasha (Arabic: شريف صبري باشا‎) was the brother of Nazli Sabri, Queen consort of Egypt. He was thus the maternal uncle of Nazli's son King Farouk I, and served on the three-member Regency Council that was formed in 1936-37 during the latter's minority. Sherif Pasha Sabri was 41 years old at the time, and had previously held the post of Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs.[1]

On 30 September 1946, Sherif Sabri Pasha was asked to become Prime Minister and head a new cabinet.[2] However, he never became premier and Isma'il Sidqi Pasha remained Prime Minister until 9 December 1946.

Sherif Sabri Pasha headed the Egyptian Geographic Society from May 1946 till March 1955.[3] Like his sister Nazli, he was a grandson of Egypt's three-time Prime minister Muhammad Sharif Pasha who was of Turkish origin,[4] as well as a great-grandson of Napoleon Bonaparte's colonel Soliman Pasha al-Faransawi.[5]
