Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal

From Prince Alwaleed:
If I’m going to do something, I do it spectacularly or I don’t do it at all.


I can say that his statement is definitely correct as I was involved in a right upset with him when two Americans tried soliciting both Prince Alwaleed's wife at the time (Dalal) and his sister Princess Rima, (thinking that they were prostitutes looking for business) in the lobby of the Dorchester Hotel in London. By the way I was on his side as I worked for Princess Rima. This incident happened in about 1981.
