Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1941 – 29 September 2012) was a senior prince of the House of Saud, and a member of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Allegiance Council.[1][2]

Early life

Prince Hathloul was born in Riyadh in 1941.[3][4] He was King Abdulaziz's thirty-second son.[5] His mother was a Yemeni woman, Saida al Yamaniyah, and a concubine of the King.[5][6]

Succession and activities

Prince Hathloul was a businessman[7] and vice chair of the Najd corporation.[3]

In August 2009 the Washington Institute for Near East Policy identified him as a potential successor to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.[5] In 2012, Foreign Policy cited him as one of four potential heirs apparent after Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz, adding that Prince Hathloul was much less well-known than the other three candidates.[8]

Prince Hathloul served as president of Al-Hilal FC three times.[9]
