King of Egypt and the Sudan (Arabic: ملك مصر والسودان Malik Miṣr was-Sūdān) was the title used by the Egyptian monarch from 16 October 1951 until the abolition of the monarchy on 18 June 1953.
[1] This move came in the wake of Wafdist Prime Minister Nahhas Pasha's decision to unilaterally abrogate the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936.
For instance, expatriate Egyptian students in France greeted Farouk I during his 1937 tour of Europe by proclaiming "Long live the King of Egypt and Sudan".
[8] The only other monarch to officially use the title "King of Egypt and the Sudan" besides Farouk I was his infant son Fuad II.
Many of extant stamps showing Farouk I's portrait thus bear the Arabic inscription "King of Egypt and the Sudan".
