I believe this passage shows his pride was hurt that the ruler of the greatest kingdom in M-E was not "king," and therefore, Boromir would not be "king."

Remember that he was only a boy when he said that. I know that Faramir didn't say how old he was, but if he were 12 or so, what boy of that age wouldn't want to be king? And being that close to being king already just makes his dream that little but more real.
