Were Ancient Egyptian kings BELIEVED TO BE subject to judgment by Maat in the Afterworld like other people or were they immune or do we know?

I'd recommend you take a look at the Pyramid Texts which make up some of the oldest religious writings in the world. These were written for the king to aid his soul in its journey to heaven. Yes the king's soul was subject to judgement in the Hall of Truth by Osiris but the 'Utterances' from the Texts were meant as a 'cheat sheet' to ensure that he arrived safely.
Everything in ancient Egyptian belief was magical and the proper words said in the proper way allowed, in principal, for the achievement of any desire.
