Prince Turki Bin Abdelaziz, a full brother of King Salman, died on 12 November. He was one of the seven sons of Hessa Bint Ahmed Al-Sudairi: Fahd, Sultan, Abdelrahman, Nayef, Turki, Salman and Ahmed. He was a deputy defence minister from 1969 to 1978, but lived in Cairo for many years and mintained a low profile. His wives were Nura Bint Abdullah Bin Abdelrahman and Hind Bint Shams Al-Din Al-Fassi. The high-spending Al-Fassi family became very rich through their connection to Prince Turki. Turki eventually returned home to Saudi Arabia for his brother Sultan’s funeral.
