Prince Al Waleed bin Khaled: Biography of Saudi Arabia’s Late ‘Sleeping Prince’
Prince Al Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, commonly referred to as the “Sleeping Prince,” has departed from this world at the age of 36 after enduring nearly two decades in a coma. The youthful royal entered into unconsciousness following a tragic automobile collision in London in 2005 while attending a military academy.
The heartbreaking news was validated on Saturday, July 19, by his father, Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, through a message on X (formerly Twitter). He expressed:
“With hearts filled with faith in Allah’s divine will and fate, and with deep sorrow and grief, we lament the loss of our cherished son Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah have mercy on him, who departed this life today.”
