Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal's 20-Year Coma
The "Sleeping Prince" remains a symbol of hope and resilience, with his family's unwavering dedication to his care and recovery, and his story continues to inspire and captivate people around the world, as they wait for any sign of improvement in his condition.
Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal, a 36-year-old member of the Saudi royal family, remains in a coma after a 2005 car crash, with his father refusing to stop life support despite doctors' recommendations, holding onto hope for his son's recovery.
The prince, known as the "Sleeping Prince", has been on a ventilator and fed through a feeding tube for nearly 20 years, showing only slight signs of awareness, such as lifting a finger or moving his head, but has not regained full consciousness. His father, Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, has chosen to continue life support, refusing to give up on his son's potential recovery.
In 2019, Prince Al-Waleed showed small signs of movement, which sparked hope for his recovery, but unfortunately, they did not lead to full consciousness. The prince is a great-grandson of King Abdulaziz, the founder of Saudi Arabia, and his condition has been a subject of concern for the royal family and the nation.
As Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal turns 36, his family continues to hold onto hope for a miracle, and his father remains committed to supporting his son's life, despite the long and challenging journey ahead.
