Nawaf became Emir in 2020. But since that time he was suffering from various physical complications. In 2021, he also went to the United States once for treatment. However, his physical condition has worsened over the past few days. He was in intensive care since that time. He died today at the age of 86.

When Michal was made Crown Prince in 2020; Then there was a controversy about it. This was mainly due to his age. However, analysts said then, Kuwait’s rulers do not want to hand over power to the next generation. For this reason, the old Michal was made the crown prince instead of the young.
