"With hearts full of faith in Allah's decree and destiny, and with profound sadness and sorrow, we mourn our beloved son Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah have mercy on him, who passed away to Allah's mercy today," his father, Prince Khaled bin Talal said in a statement.
Prince Alwaleed was 15 when he was in an accident while studying at a military college in the UK.

Born in April 1990, Prince Alwaleed was the eldest son of Prince Khaled bin Talal Al Saud and nephew of billionaire businessman Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
Funeral prayers will be held on Sunday at Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh.
