Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, widely known as the “Sleeping Prince” of Saudi Arabia, has passed away at the age of 36 after spending nearly 20 years in a coma.

Prince Al-Waleed fell into a coma following a traumatic brain injury during surgery years ago and had remained in a non-responsive state ever since. His condition had drawn widespread sympathy and prayers across the Arab world.
The family announced that funeral prayers will take place on Sunday, July 20.
He had a motor accident in London in 2005 when he was 15 years old.
He was aged 35 years.
May his gentle soul rest in peace 🕊️ 🙏
