Rakan Bin Salman: Tears at graduation

King Salman Bin Abdelaziz “could not hold back his emotions as he attended the graduation of one of his sons, Prince Rakan who finished high school studies in Riyadh,” Al-Arabiya reported on 4 . “I attend this graduation not only as Rakan’s father, but a father to all the students” Salman said in his speech to students. Salman has made a habit of attending his sons’ graduation ceremonies. Rakan presented a sword to his father prior to the ardha (sword dance) ceremony, which Al-Arabiya said “caused the king to get emotional seeing his last son graduate”.
