After being in a coma for almost 20 years, Prince Alwaleed bin Khaled bin Talal, a member of the Saudi royal family, has died. He was also known as the ‘Sleeping Prince’ for a long time. According to a Gulf News report, Prince Alwaleed, born in April 1990, was the eldest son of Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, a prominent member of the Saudi royal family and the nephew of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. At the age of just 15, Prince Alwaleed was seriously injured in a car accident in 2005. The accident left him with a serious brain injury and internal bleeding. Since then, Prince Alwaleed has been undergoing treatment at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh. The Saudi royal family has confirmed his death. Five years ago, a video released by Alwaleed’s family showed him moving his fingers while in a coma. It was hoped that he would recover from this. But despite the long efforts of specialist doctors in the United States and Spain, his physical condition did not improve significantly. Throughout this entire time, Prince Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz has strongly opposed removing his son’s life support. He has expressed his unwavering belief that life and death are in the hands of Allah. Prince Khaled bin Talal said that Alwaleed’s funeral will be held at Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in the capital Riyadh on Sunday after Asr.<\/p>\n
Tributes on social media<\/strong><\/p>\n The news of the prince’s death at a specialized medical center in Saudi Arabia has cast a shadow of mourning across the country. The hashtag Sleeping Prince has spread widely on social media. Thousands of people are remembering Alwaleed’s death as a symbol of patience, faith and the unique love of parents. This story of the love of a son by Alwaleed’s father, Prince Khaled bin Talal, has resonated deeply in people’s hearts. The sight of a devoted father sitting by his son’s bedside for years has stirred up a stir among many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After being in a coma for almost 20 years, Prince Alwaleed bin Khaled bin Talal,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[115],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1",1280,720,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1",1280,720,true],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?resize=1115%2C715&ssl=1",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?resize=800%2C500&ssl=1",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1",1024,576,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?resize=540%2C340&ssl=1",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?resize=400%2C250&ssl=1",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"International<\/a>","tag_info":"International","comment_count":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-07-20T105333.064-1.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":30711,"url":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?p=30711&lang=en","url_meta":{"origin":35042,"position":0},"title":"Saudi Arabia condemns attack on Iran, Prince Salman-Pezeshkian phone call","author":"Biz Trend 24","date":"June 15, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had a phone call with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian.
