False Viral Claim of Saudi 'Sleeping Prince' Waking Up Debunked
Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal, known as Saudi Arabia’s 'Sleeping Prince,' has been in a coma for nearly 20 years following a car accident in 2005. He remains on life support at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, with minimal change in his condition, although small movements were reported in 2019. Recently, a viral video claimed the prince had woken up and was greeting his family, sparking false hopes. However, the video actually shows Saudi businessman Yazeed Mohamed Al-Rajhi, who recently recovered from a spinal injury sustained in an accident during the Baja Jordan rally. The video's claim that it shows Prince Al-Waleed waking up is false, as there is no medical evidence or reports indicating his awakening. His family, including his father Prince Khaled bin Talal, has publicly refused to end life support, emphasizing their hope and faith. Prince Al-Waleed is a great-grandson of Saudi Arabia's founder, King Abdulaziz, and his condition remains unchanged. The false viral claim has been widely debunked, reaffirming that the prince remains in a coma.
