well he is from the Al-Saud family but not royal as he is not from king abdulaziz blood/ he carries the title prince but not HRH and not HH.
also the article is about him buying a football club some where in greece and the gentelman writting the article is apparently not happy that this price spent the money abroad and not in country / as some ppl always enjoy watching what other ppl do and what they should have done in thier opinion and because of that the writer thinks that this prince is a thief not because he has proof NO he just doesnt know where the prince got his money (i'm sure the prince didnt know he had to run everything he does in his life with the writer ).. the whole article is realy low class

Saudi Arabia commissions gold-leaf train | World news | guardian.co.uk
It may have been a tough year for Arab regimes facing unprecedented popular demands for change. But King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has signalled serene royal continuity by ordering the construction of a specially equipped private train to whisk him and his entourage between the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
[...]
According to al-Shoula, the royal design will be based on the ordinary rolling stock being manufactured for the project, and will consist of 13 coaches. But their decor, Constructionweekonline.com reported on Tuesday, will be considerably "more lavish interior decor featuring plentiful gold leaf, especially on the ceilings".
King Abdullah, 87, will enjoy the use of an audience chamber, a bedroom, two guest suites and a dining lounge, as well as meeting rooms.
 
:previous: I can only imagine how much this commission will cost, not that money is an issue for the House of Saud, let alone it's King.

It will I'm sure be a lavish sight to behold when completed.

i find it idiotic because they were forced to do that , hope that they will not convicted
 
All over the world a lot of girls get exploited and used as sex slaves,they often have no support or protection because they have been human trafficked from poor countries and their passports are taken away from them.Men usually get away without being charged but the girls get punished for prostitution and can´t go back to their families because of what has happened to them:-(

Efforts to implement a Saudi-Iraqi prisoner exchange have taken on extra urgency after it became known that three people facing the death penalty in Iraq are members of the Saudi royal family.
