A United Kingdom working in Saudi Arabia secretly filmed the execution of Princess Mishale and her lover, in which the 19-year-old Saudi princess has fallen to the ground and died, dressed in a black robe, while her lover is being beheaded by Mishaal's own brother.
On July 15, 1977, Princess Mishale was dressed in a black robe and had fallen in a pool of blood. Her lover, Khalid, was brutally beheaded under the knife of her own brother. Unexpectedly, this scene was secretly filmed by the United Kingdom Barry · Milner.
Later, Barry · Milner took the photo back to United Kingdom and sold it to the Daily Express. The United Kingdom newspaper published the photo in January 1978 and immediately attracted widespread international attention.
After the photo came to light, United Kingdom director Anthony · Thomas was inspired and decided to make a documentary about the fate of Princess Mishael. After in-depth research and interviews, he made a documentary called "The Death of a Princess".
Because this drama exposed the Saudi royal family's cruelty to women, it caused the dissatisfaction of the Saudi government and led to a diplomatic crisis. And in retaliation, the Saudi government took retaliatory actions. They expelled the United Kingdom ambassador and accused United Kingdom of interfering in Saudi internal affairs. The Saudi government strongly deplores the actions of the United Kingdom media that have seriously damaged the national dignity of Saudi Arabia. The incident brought relations between Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom to a low point.
Not only that, but in order to avoid getting involved in this political dispute, some oil companies in United States also deliberately put out advertisements to strongly condemn the drama "Death of a Princess" to show their sincerity.
In the fifties of the last century, the country of Saudi Arabia was deeply influenced by Islam, which led to the long-term suppression of women's status and low status, and there were few human rights to speak of. In Saudi, women are bound under heavy robes and their every move is strictly restricted. They are not free to choose their own lives and are forced to follow outdated norms and customs. It is precisely because of this sexism that the tragic fate of Princess Michael has been foreshadowed.
In 1958, Princess Mishar was born into a prominent family in Saudi Arabia, and her father was a direct member of the Saudi royal family, with extremely high status and power. In this family, the status of women, like other Saudi families, is influenced by Sharia law, and their lives are subject to many restrictions and little access to formal education.
When Mishale was 13 years old, the family had already arranged a marriage for her, promising her to a 40-year-old middle-aged man who was also Mishaal's cousin. Despite her reluctance, Mishael was unable to disobey her family's orders and was eventually forced to marry her cousin.
This marriage undoubtedly plunged her into a deeper cage, and there was no happiness in her life. At this age, she should have enjoyed the joy of youth, but she didn't want to marry someone she didn't love, and the age difference between the two made Michael feel that it was not the love and marriage she longed for at all.
The marriage was painful for her and fueled her desire for freedom. In order to escape this cage-like life, Mishael bravely chose to pursue freedom. She decided to study in Lebanon, away from the constraints of Saudi Arabia, and found a new living environment.
While studying abroad in Lebanon, Mishal began to realize that she was no longer a puppet at the mercy of others, but a woman with the ability to think independently. She learned to make her own decisions and be brave enough to express her opinions. In this land of freedom, she made like-minded friends and was exposed to advanced ideas.
During this period, she met Khalid, the nephew of the Saudi ambassador to Lebanon, Khalid, a forward-thinking and personable man, and the meeting between the two seemed to be arranged by fate, which made the originally closed Mishar feel unprecedented warmth. In the process of getting to know each other, they discover that they share similar values and a desire for freedom.
In this way, Mishael and Khalid fell in love desperately, and their love was like a clear spring, nourishing each other's hearts. Although they know that this relationship will face great pressure and obstacles in Saudi Arabia, they still choose to be brave enough to pursue true love.
In 1975, the two were forced to return to China due to the outbreak of war in Lebanon, but they did not sever their relationship with each other, and Mishaal's married status was obviously unable to be with Khalid in the open. After some careful consideration, the two decided to elope and leave Saudi Arabia.
However, fate did not go their way, and a tragedy was quietly brewing. As they hopefully prepare to leave Saudi Arabia, Misha is found at the airport to have a problem with his passport. This causes them to panic, and their plans are instantly revealed. It turned out that in their hurry, they ignored the details on the passport, and the entire escape plan fell short.
After the fugitive plan was revealed, the Saudi royal family reacted strongly to the matter. They saw it as a serious provocation to the dignity of the royal family and a betrayal of tradition and religious dogma. The Saudi government moved quickly to detain al-Mishar and Khalid.
Under Saudi law, adultery is punishable severely. In order to preserve the family's honor and the authority of the royal family, Mishaal's grandfather, Prince Mohammed, ordered the execution of Mishaal and her lover Khalid. In this way, Princess Mishael, who sacrificed for love, finally became a victim under the shackles of feudal thinking.
