The Prince then travelled to the UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘At-Turaif‘, where William met with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, also known by his moniker “MbS”. At the site northwest of Riyadh, the two heirs to the throne toured the rich history of the Saudi Dynasty’s first capital.
Following their joint tour, Prince William and MbS then enjoyed a private dinner and further discussions.
The three-day official visit will see the Prince of Wales balance a diplomatic tightrope representing King Charles and the United Kingdom.
