Answer
Farouk I's reputation eroded because of corruption and government incompetence. Farouk was a playboy who was more interested in having fun than in governing. He was also corrupt, and he used his position to enrich himself and his family. The Egyptian government was also incompetent, and it was unable to provide basic services to the people. This caused widespread discontent, and Farouk's reputation suffered as a result.
