‘Sleeping Prince' of Saudi Arabia dead after 20-year coma
Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid Al-Saud suffered a brain haemorrhage and internal bleeding in the horrific accident in 2005, when he was just 15 years old.
Widely known as the 'Sleeping Prince', he was kept on a ventilator in hospital – but never regained full consciousness.
Prince Al-Waleed was the eldest son of Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, who confirmed his death in a heartbreaking post on X today.
Prince Al-Waleed was studying at a military college in London when he was involved in the devastating car crash.
After the accident, he was hospitalized at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh, where he remained in a coma ever since.
Prince Al-Waleed's father never gave up hope that his son would one day make a full recovery.
He remained involved in the prince's care and firmly rejected calls to withdraw life support.
