Dubai: Prince Al Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, known as the “Sleeping Prince,” has died after spending more than 20 years in a coma following a traumatic car accident.
Born in April 1990, Prince Al Waleed was the eldest son of Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, a prominent Saudi royal and nephew of billionaire Prince Al Waleed bin Talal.
At just 15, while undergoing military training as a military cadet in London, he suffered a devastating road accident in 2005 that caused severe brain injuries and internal bleeding.
Despite urgent medical care and involvement from specialised American and Spanish physicians, he never regained full consciousness.
