Early lifeAbdel-Huda was born in Cairo, Egypt into an aristocratic Turkish family with long experience of service to the Ottoman Empire.[1][3][2] Her grandfather was an adviser and astrologer to the last Ottoman Sultan and her father became Prime Minister of Transjordan.[1][3] She was educated at Lady Margaret Hall where she studied modern History and graduated in 1939.[1] Consequently, Abdel-Huda was the first Muslim woman to study at the University of Oxford.[1] During the Second World War she was recruited by the British Information Service and was posted to Cairo and then Palestine where she was engaged with the Palestinian cause and began a lifelong friendship with Freya Stark.[3] Abdel-Huda remained fervently pro-Palestinian throughout her life and considered the Palestinian people betrayed by the British.[3] Once the war was over, she studied Art History at the Courtauld Institute under Anthony Blunt, and resided in Chelsea, London.[3] Personal lifeIn 1963 Abdel-Huda married her cousin, Prince Osman-Oglu. She also had a thirty-year relationship with the British MP Sir John Foster.[3] She was known for her sparkling dinner parties and her flamboyant personality.[3] Abdel-Huda died on 29 November 2012, aged 96.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{citation|last=Sarin|first=Sophie|year=2013|title=Princess Lulie Flamboyant: Art historian and friend of Freya Stark and Anthony Blunt|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/princess-lulie-flamboyant-art-historian-and-friend-of-freya-stark-and-anthony-blunt-8434225.html|quote=Princess Velia Osman-Oglu of Turkey, known to all as Lulie, was the first Muslim woman to study at Oxford and to penetrate the British Establishment...She was born Velia Abdel-Huda in Cairo into a family of Turkish aristocrats and diplomats exiled in Egypt since the fall of the Ottoman Empire.|publisher=The Independent|accessdate=20 September 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Abdel-Huda, Velia}}2. ^{{citation|last=McCarthy|first=Helen|year=2014|title=Women of the World: The Rise of the Female Diplomat|page=183|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|quote=Lulie Abul Huda, an Oxford-educated princess of Turkish ancestry.}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{citation|last=May|first=Alex|year=2013|title=Obituaries 2012: Princess Princess Lulie 26 January 1916 – 29 November 2012|url=http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/news/obituaries%202012|quote=Velia Abdel-Huda, otherwise known as Princess Lulie, died on 29 November 2012, aged 96.
