Born a King tells the extraordinary true story of 14-year-old Faisal, the younger son of the first King of Saudi Arabia, who in 1919 is sent on a diplomatic mission to England. In the frenetic post-WWI atmosphere, Faisal becomes the first Saudi Royal to visit the UK on a politically precarious trip lasting 5 months. Faisal ultimately became the hugely popular King of Saudi Arabia (1964-1975), implementing modernization and reform.
