age: 80 yrs
Prince Sultan
(full name: Sultan bin Abdul Aziz bin Abdul-Rahman bin Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Saud)
Born in: Riyadh, Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz
Father: King Abdul-Aziz
Mother: Princess Hessa Al-Sudairi
Saudi Arabia's ruling monarchy moved into a critical period of realignment Saturday after the death of the heir to the throne opened the way for a new crown prince: most likely a tough-talking interior minister who has led crackdowns on Islamic militants but also has shown favor to ultraconservative traditions such as keeping the ban on women voting.
Saudi Arabia has been ruled since 1953 by the sons of its founder, King Abdul-Aziz, who had more than 40 sons by multiple wives. Sultan was part of the aging second generation of Abdul-Aziz's sons, including Nayef, the full brother of the late King Fahd, who died in 2005.
Sultan had seven sons. His son Prince Khalid was a key Saudi general in the 1991 Gulf War. His son Prince Bandar was Ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005. His son Fahd is Deputy President of Sport and Welfare. His other sons are Abdullah, Turki, Meshal and Faisal.
In 2004, Sultan was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent several corrective surgeries. He underwent an operation to remove an intestinal polyp.
In April 2009, he started to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. He spent several months in New York City at NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital and underwent surgery. He then convalesced at Agadir, Morocco, and remained abroad most of the time, undergoing medical treatments.
