...break the good news to the Prime Minister. "On this blessed day," proclaimed the national radio a few minutes later, "when the sun of smiling hope arose and the most shining diamond in the Crown of the Nile Valley lighted, the Royal Cabinet announces the birth of Prince Ahmed Fuad...
King Farouk has never liked his demagogue Prime Minister, Nahas Pasha, has twice fired him from the premiership. Farouk's father, old King Fuad I, felt the same way about Nahas.

Only six months before, the young prince had arrived in Britian to get a thorough training at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, plus a few lessons in manners and the craft of kingship. The moment he returned to Cairo, he was plumped into an atmosphere of intrigue and luxury. He was surrounded largely by sycophants who catered to his whims and seldom dared contradict him. He inherited a private fortune of $50 million, an annual Civil List income of $400,000, four fabulous palaces...
