‘Sleeping Prince' of Saudi Arabia dies after 20-year coma
A Saudi Arabian royal who spent more than two decades in a coma after a horror car crash in London has died at the age of 36. 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. Quoting a verse from the Quran, he wrote: 'With hearts believing in Allah's will and decree, and with deep sorrow and sadness, we mourn our beloved son: Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah have mercy on him, who passed away 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 hospitalised 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 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. The hashtag 'Sleeping Prince' has widely trended on social media following the announcement, with thousands offering their condolences. 'May Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled, Rest In Peace.
