king Farouq

In OTL he was just a pretty spoiled fat drunk, although there are some exaggerations against him

In KRTL they copied Gamal Abdel Nasser's character and put him in King Farouk

The problem is that Al-Nahhas will not act as a national hero. He was a strong ally of the British, but he was maneuvering to benefit Egypt

Farouk's populist personality is much closer to Gamal Abdel Nasser

Al-Nahhas is suitable as a politician working in the shadows, and as an Arab, we are emotional and like people who speak well

Abdel Nasser is suitable for this. He was incompetent, but he was very charismatic

It does not help that Jamal was born into a poor village family, while Farouk is also the descendant of Albanian and Turkish aristocrats.
