Isn't Prince Nayef the new Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia?
 
Thank you. :)
I do hope the Prince will be fine.

One more question concerning the House of Saud. It is my understanding that unlike most European Monarchies, the Heir to the Throne of Saudi Arabia is chosen or designated. How does the process work? And who are the eligible candidates: do they have to be close blood relatives - siblings or sons - of the reigning Monarch, or any member of the House of Saud will do?

Prince Mohammed Bin Saud, Influential Saudi Prince, Dead


Saudi Arabia says a senior prince and former defense minister has died. The 78-year-old Prince Mohammed bin Saud was not in line for the Saudi throne, but wielded influence as part of a council of royal family members that helps select the heirs to rule the oil-rich Western ally. The official Saudi Press Agency says Mohammed died Sunday, but gave no other details.

King Saud has 115 children?!? :ohmy:
Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud had a very large harem (he had children by at least forty different women) and yes, 115 children. Basmaa is his youngest child with Jamila Mehri: her full siblings included Prince Khaled, Prince Abdul Majeed, Princess Fahda, Princess Sheikha, and Prince Abdul Malik. If I'm not mistaken, his eldest son was born in 1923, while Basma (the youngest) was born in 1964, meaning there was a 41 year difference between them.

Only a few of his children have a public role or are even known: among his sons were Muhammed bin Saud (former governor of Al Bahah province), Mishari bin Saud (current governor of Al Bahah province and a minister), and Mishaal bin Saud (former governor of Najran province).

Thank God, His Majesty's operation went on smoothly. Praying for his speed recovery, Insya 'Allah.
 
I was sent this today, I cannot vouch that it is what is really happening but it is something to brace yourself and it is from a pretty reliable source:
Quote:
Abdullah, 88, reportedly has been placed on life support after having undergone spinal surgery the week of Nov. 18.
That does not mean that he is dead but it does mean that the operation wasn't easy. He is, after all, 88. I hope he recovers 100%.
 
Saudi Arabian prince accused of smuggling in Russia | Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI).
MOSCOW, December 5 - RAPSI. Saudi Arabian Prince Sultan Bin Mohammed Bin Saud Al Kabeer has been accused of smuggling 49 eagles into Russia for hunting, including 16 rare species, Kommersant reported on Wednesday, citing the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources.

The royal family has arrived in Russia on a private plane to take part in a bird exhibition in Kalmykia. A scandal ensued after the service uncovered that the prince had smuggled 49 eagles into the country for hunting.

Although the birds were seized, the prince was not detained due to his diplomatic immunity.However, the service has notified the Foreign Ministry of the smuggling incident.

The prince is set to leave the country in the evening and the service is taking efforts to prevent his departure.
 
Ugh. Another reason not to like this bunch.
