BREAKING: Saudi ‘Sleeping Prince’ Al-Waleed Dies After 20 Years in Coma Following London Crash

After two decades in an unbroken coma that captured the world’s sympathy and sorrow, Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid Al-Saud, often referred to as Saudi Arabia’s “Sleeping Prince,” has finally passed away.

The young royal died peacefully after spending 20 years in a vegetative state, the aftermath of a horrific car crash in London when he was just 15 years old.

The news of his death has sent shockwaves across Saudi Arabia and beyond, with mourners reflecting on the tragic arc of a life that never truly had the chance to begin.

Prince Al-Waleed, a member of the powerful House of Saud, had been in a coma since 2005 — the result of a devastating traffic accident while studying in the United Kingdom.

Dubbed the “Sleeping Prince” by the public, his survival became a poignant symbol of hope, medical perseverance, and spiritual faith for millions.

Over the years, his family spared no expense, maintaining the best possible care for him in private medical facilities and within royal compounds. Occasional videos shared by his family showed involuntary movements, prompting widespread prayers and emotional reactions on social media.

But despite the flickers of motion and faint signs of brain activity, Prince Al-Waleed never regained consciousness — suspended in time, a royal youth frozen in a tragic slumber.

His passing was announced earlier today through Saudi royal channels, with tributes flooding in from citizens, religious leaders, and royals across the Gulf region. “May Allah forgive him, have mercy on him, and make him among the dwellers of Paradise,” one message read, echoing thousands more.

For 20 years, the Prince remained a national mystery and a sacred symbol. His story became a reference point for long-term coma patients and the question of medical miracles. Yet as the news of his death spreads, it is not only the end of a personal journey but the close of a painful chapter in Saudi Arabia’s royal history.

The Prince is expected to be buried in Riyadh, where funeral rites will be held in accordance with Islamic traditions. His father, Prince Khalid bin Talal, who stood by him for every second of the last two decades, has yet to release a formal statement.

May his soul rest in peace. The Sleeping Prince has finally awakened — beyond this world.
