You are right Dazz .. let us wait for the royal court`s announcement. Perhaps they are waiting for King Abdullah II & prince Faisal to return back from Oman.

That's so sad. My sincere condolences to his entire family.
He was often seen at various events involving the royal family. I particularly liked the fact that Princess Muna included him in her New Year's pictures with all of her grandchildren.

Sure will be a private funeral as in 1994 when his wife was buried. Walter had great relation with KA and Muna.

Walter and Doris only had a one child: Muna. It´s normal that they had a great relation.
