The “Sleeping Prince” has peacefully passed away after 20 years.
Prince Al Waleed was just 15 when a car accident in London left him in a coma in 2005. For two decades, his family never gave up hope, keeping him at a specialized medical facility in Saudi Arabia and regularly sharing updates with the public who had grown to care about his story.
On Saturday, at age 35, he passed away peacefully. His father confirmed the news on social media.
Twenty years of bedside vigils, of wondering “what if,” of a brilliant young life suspended between worlds. His family’s love never wavered, even when hope seemed impossible.
The Sleeping Prince is finally at rest.
Rest in peace, Prince Al Waleed (1990-2025)
