Mina Nagy, her lawyer, had appealed the one-year prison sentence but the court upheld it.
Nancy, 16, was jailed by the Child Appeals Court in Giza, on the west bank of the River Nile, and her photographer, identified only as Moaz M., was jailed for three years and fined 100,000 Egyptian pounds ($5,300).
