  1. The last royal family to rule Egypt as a monarchy were the descendants of Mohamed Ali Pasha, a tobacco merchant, and Albanian general in the service of the Ottoman Sultan.

    First ruling as a viceroy for the Ottoman Sultan, and fighting wars on his behalf (e.g. against the al-Sauds in Arabia), he later became independant, and even challenged the Sultan by campaigns in Syria and Southern Turkey.

    After the fall of the Ottomans, Egypt's rulers took the title Sultan, then the title king. This lasted only for a few decades, as the coupe d'etat in 1952 ended this monarchy.

    RULERS OF EGYPT FROM THE HOUSE OF MOHAMMED ALY:

    Viceroy Mohammed Aly 1805-1848

    Viceroy Ibrahim 1848-1848

    Viceroy Abbas 1848-1854

    Viceroy Saiid 1854-1863

    Viceroy/Khedive Ismail 1863-1879

    Khedive Tewfik 1879-1892

    Khedive Abbas Hilmi 1892-1914

    Sultan Hussein Kamel 1914-1917

    Sultan/King Fouad 1917-36

    King Farouk 1936-52

    Regency 1952-1953


  2. Yes, King F son lives in L.A. he's a successful business man and travels back and forth from L A to Cario often.

    Just something that I know.

  3. Yes, there are living members of the formerly-reigning Egyptian Royal Family. According to Wikipedia, it includes at least:

    HM The King, his children HRH The Prince of Said and TRH Princesses Fawzia Latifa and Fahkruddin, the King's ex-wife Princess Fadila, the King's half-sister Princess Farial, the King's aunt Princess Fawzia and Princess Fatima, wife of the Egyptian regent.
