Prince Al Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, often referred to as the “Sleeping Prince,” has sadly departed after two decades of being in a coma due to a tragic vehicular incident.
Born in April 1990, Prince Al Waleed was the firstborn of Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, a notable Saudi royal and relative of billionaire Prince Al Waleed bin Talal. At the young age of 15 in 2005, while studying as a military cadet in London, the young prince faced a catastrophic road accident that resulted in grave brain injuries and internal hemorrhaging.
In spite of the interventions from premier medical professionals from the U.S. and Spain, he never regained complete consciousness. For over two decades, Prince Al Waleed remained in a minimally responsive condition. Rare involuntary movements provided moments of hope, and his father, Prince Khaled, steadfastly stood by him—dismissed pleas to withdraw life support and held onto faith in miraculous healing.
