Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid bin Talal, often known around the world as Saudi Arabia’s “Sleeping Prince,” has sadly passed away after spending 20 years in a coma. The news has touched many hearts, both in the Kingdom and globally.
In 2005, while studying in London, the young prince was involved in a tragic car accident that left him in a coma. Since then, he had been under intensive care, with his family never losing hope. Over the years, videos surfaced occasionally showing slight movements—like blinking or raising a finger—sparking emotional responses from people who followed his story.
The prince became a symbol of patience, faith, and unwavering hope for millions. His parents, especially his father Prince Khalid bin Talal, remained devoted throughout the years, refusing to take him off life support in the belief that miracles can happen. His hospital room had almost become a sacred space of quiet resilience and enduring love.
As news of his passing broke, social media was flooded with tributes. The hashtag #SleepingPrince trended globally as people expressed their condolences and admiration for the family’s strength.
His life, though mostly spent in silence, spoke volumes about the strength of hope and the depth of a family’s love. While he never woke up, the Sleeping Prince left a lasting legacy in the hearts of many who never even met him.
