Daughter of a notably corrupt Albanian dynasty.
Sort of like the British royals are really Germans.
That said, one has to wonder what Egypt lost when the kings were overthrown, corruption notwithstanding. Egypt was in a much better social and economic place in the early 1950’s. No Nasser, no socialism, no Soviet connection, no purging of the “cosmopolitan” business class, who knows.

The bad old days. I bet the rock chuckers in Tahrir Square would gladly trade Morsi for King Faruk today.
