In a poignant reminder of resilience and faith, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, often referred to as the ‘Sleeping Prince’, has turned 36 years old while still in a coma.
Prince Al-Waleed has remained unconscious since 2005, when a tragic car accident left him with severe brain injuries while studying at a military college.
Despite strong medical advice over the years to discontinue life support, his father, Prince Khaled bin Talal, has steadfastly refused, expressing unwavering belief in the possibility of his son’s recovery through divine intervention.
The family’s devotion to the Prince has inspired widespread attention across the Middle East and beyond, as they continue to share updates on his condition and milestone moments, including slight movements and reflex responses that fuel hopes for his eventual awakening.
Prince Khaled has often emphasized that the decision to keep his son on life support is rooted in deep religious faith and the belief that life and death are ultimately in God’s hands.
Over the years, images and videos of the Sleeping Prince have circulated online, often accompanied by prayers and messages of support from well-wishers around the world.
As Prince Al-Waleed reaches this emotional milestone, his story remains a powerful testament to hope, perseverance, and faith amid unimaginable challenges.
