Saudi Arabia: Sarah Bint Saud funeral


Issue 1013 - 23 Apr 2016 | 1 minute read

Funeral prayers were held on 12 April for Princess Sarah Bint Saud Bin Abdelaziz Al-Kabir from the Saud Al-Kabir branch. Senior royals attending included Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef. Princess Sarah’s father was the famous Saud Al-Kabir (1881-1960) who was a key supporter of Ibn Saud during his later campaigns to unite the kingdom and married his favourite sister Nura. Because the Al-Kabir line is considered to rank second in protocol, funerals of family members are usually attended by leading members of the main Al-Saud branch; when Sarah’s brother died in 2010 King Salman (then Riyadh governor) led the funeral.
