Prince Al-Waleed, a Saudi royal family member, has been comatose since 2005 after a car accident while studying at a military college. Despite little hope, his father chose to keep him on life support, believing in a potential recovery.

The "Sleeping Prince" marked his 36th birthday in 2025, still in a coma. His family remains hopeful for his recovery, despite medical advice suggesting otherwise. Prince Al-Waleed's condition has garnered significant attention.

Prince Al-Waleed's father, Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud, declined medical advice to end life support. He believes that if God wanted his son to die, he would have passed away in the accident, and instead chose to continue fighting.

The Prince lies unaware of the passing years, reliant on machines for life support at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh. His family holds on to hope, despite the prolonged coma and medical prognosis.

As a great-grandson of Saudi Arabia's founder King Abdulaziz, Prince Al-Waleed's lineage is notable. Though not a direct son or brother of the current monarch, his family's history and legacy continue to draw attention to his plight.
