Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Al Saud[1] (1942 - 29 September 2012) was a senior prince of the House of Saud, and a member of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Allegiance Council.[2]

Early life

Prince Hathloul was born in 1942. He was one of Ibn Saud's sons.[3] His mother was a Yemeni woman, Saida al Yamaniyah.[3]

Succession and activities

In August 2009, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy identified him as a potential successor to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.[3] In 2012, Foreign Policy identified him as one of four potential heirs apparent after Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz. However, it added that he was much less well-known than the other three candidates.[4]

He served as president of Al-Hilal FC three times.[5]

Death

In a statement by the Royal Court, it was announced that Prince Hathloul had died abroad on 29 September 2012.[6] His body was taken to Jeddah on 30 September 2012.[7] Funeral prayers for him were held on the same day at the Grand Mosque in Mecca.[6]

King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and Bahraini Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa sent a cable of condolences to King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on the demise of Prince Hazloul bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.[8][9]
