Saudi Arabia – Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal, a member of the Saudi royal family widely known as the “Sleeping Prince,” has now spent an astonishing two decades in a comatose state following a devastating car accident in 2005. The prince, who recently turned 36 on April 18, 2025, remains on life support at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, a poignant symbol of unwavering family devotion in the face of immense medical odds.
The accident, which occurred while Prince Al-Waleed was studying at a military college in the United Kingdom, resulted in a severe brain injury that plunged him into a persistent vegetative state. Since then, he has been reliant on mechanical ventilation and a feeding tube, with his condition showing minimal change over the years. Despite medical recommendations to discontinue life support, his father, Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, has steadfastly refused, driven by an enduring faith and the profound hope for his son’s recovery. “If God had wanted him to die in the accident, he would have been in his grave now,” Prince Khaled has publicly stated, encapsulating his unwavering resolve.

While there have been no significant breakthroughs in his condition, the family cherishes any small signs of awareness. Reports from 2019 noted minor movements, such as the prince raising a finger or subtly moving his head, offering brief glimmers of hope that did not, however, indicate a return to full consciousness.
The story of the “Sleeping Prince” continues to captivate and move people globally, highlighting the fragility of life and the depths of familial love. His situation also draws attention to the complex ethical considerations surrounding prolonged coma cases and life support. As years turn into decades, the royal family’s commitment remains undimmed, a testament to their profound love and ceaseless prayers for Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal.
