Ex-king Fuad invited to opening of new canal

Post by newcastle »

I hear the Egyptian government has invited Fuad II, Egypt's last king, to the opening ceremonies.

Nice.

It was his great grandfather Isma'il Pasha who officiated at the opening of the original canal.

I wonder how many Egyptians nowadays are even aware of Fuad's existence :tk
