Sarah Bint Talal, nephew of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz, whose extended stay request has been rejected by the Saudi Arabian embassy in London in coordination with British authorities, has applied for asylum in the UK.

Saudi Princess Sarah seeks asylum in Britain - rumors of Saudi King Abdullah's death circulating

Mujtahid webpage on the social site tweeter, whose one of its major administrators is a Saudi prince and has revealed many secrets of the Saudi royal family in the last year, announced in its latest post that one of the Saudi princes has escaped to London.

The webpage stated that one of the famous Saudi figures has applied for asylum in Britain, whose name would be revealed in coming days and then the news of her asylum would be published by the British newspapers.

The revelation comes as after the death of Saudi Arabia’s Crown prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz about two weeks ago, tension and split have greatly increased between Al Saud princes to achieve power.

Furthermore, political analysts in Saudi Arabia’s affairs have predicted that the Southwest Asian country will experience instability in near future.

Meanwhile, yesterday on June 30, Egyptian websites reported the death of the Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz. Although this news was not denied by the Saudi media, the country’s official news agency published pictures, aiming to deny the news, and claimed that the King participated in the government’s weekly meeting.

Wait, is it a bloke or not? Maybe both? The article can't seem to decide. Also if it is female how cruel were the parents to give her a middle name of Bint?

"Bint" means daughter in Arabic so not that cruel at all.

So I guess calling a woman a silly bint there doesn't have the same effect? smile

I guess Sarah being the nephew rather than niece is causing the confusion over the gender of the Asylum Seeker.

Post Abdul Aziz all the Kings have been his sons and the Monarchy has decended brother to brother. Mohammed, who I think was the eldest son skipped his turn and has since orchestrated which brother gets what. Sort of ..ok you're king, you're Minister of Defence, etc etc.

Or at least that is my understanding.

Question...... has the eldest son Mohamed died as that would obviously cause some squabbling.

Maybe, just maybe fellow brainboxes, that this is the origin of the insult in the first place?

Wiktionary thinks so....
