King Fuad was less than a year old at the time of his ascension to the throne, so was never formally crowned. He became King following his father, King Farouk's abdication, and joined his family in exile, with a regent representing him in Egypt. The monarch had hoped that his stepping down would appease the anti-royalist forces in the country, and that the new baby king could serve as a unifying force for Egypt. Both gambles proved incorrect.
After being deposed, the king was brought to France where he was raised, and continues to live to this day.
