On 23 July 1952, the
Regency
On Farouk's abdication, the army proclaimed that Fuad was now King Fuad II of Egypt and the Sudan.
The monarchy was formally abolished on 18 June 1953: Egypt was declared a republic for the first time in its history, and Naguib became its first ever President. Fuad was officially deposed and stripped of his royal titles.
Life in exile
Following Fuad's deposition,[16][17] Fuad and his half-sisters were sent to live in Switzerland while Farouk remained in Italy, settling in Rome. Queen Narriman returned to Egypt in 1953 after wanting a divorce, and Farouk insisted that Fuad remain abroad.[18][10] In 1958, Fuad was stripped of his Egyptian citizenship.[citation needed]
Farouk would visit Fuad two or three times each year before the former's unexpected death, possibly from a heart attack, in 1965, when Fuad was 13 years old. Fuad believes that Farouk was "poisoned by enemies".
Growing up, Fuad and his half-sisters lived in
In 1973, President Anwar Sadat lifted Fuad's and his half-sisters' exile.[21] Fuad's Egyptian citizenship was restored in 1974. He has occasionally visited Egypt ever since,[20] with his first visit occurring in 1991.[18] During Hosni Mubarak's presidency, Fuad would notify the president of his arrival, who would then guarantee his personal safety during his visit.[20] On his Egyptian passport he has no titles and is simply identified as Ahmed Fuad with job description "previous king of Egypt".[18]
Marriage
Fuad immigrated to Paris after graduating from university.: 129–130
After years of divorce proceedings which began in 1999,[23] the marriage was formally dissolved in 2008.[1]: 129 Fuad found the divorce "deeply painful" and suffered from depression and poor health.[18] Since the divorce Fadila has been known as Princess Fadila of Egypt.[citation needed]
Issue
Fuad and Fadila had three children before their divorce: Prince Muhammad Ali, Prince of the Sa'id (born 5 February 1979), Princess Fawzia-Latifa (born 12 February 1982) and Prince Fakhruddin (born 25 August 1987).[1]: 130 The family lived together in Paris until the parents' divorce.[citation needed] After the divorce, Fuad was estranged with his children until c. 2011.[18] Fuad has four grandchildren.[citation needed]
Later life
After his divorce with Fadila, Fuad returned to Switzerland to stay close with his half-sisters.[17]
