The Prince of Wales has arrived in Saudi Arabia for a significant three-day visit aimed at strengthening ties with the Gulf state. Hosted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, William's trip includes formal talks, a private dinner, and a tour of the historic At-Turaif site in Riyadh. The visit comes amid ongoing concerns over Saudi Arabia's human rights record and the crown prince's alleged involvement in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Ahead of the trip, William and his wife publicly addressed the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, expressing concern for the victims, as the royal family seeks to focus attention on diplomatic relations during the visit. Human rights groups have urged William to raise specific cases, such as that of a British national imprisoned in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the complex backdrop to the prince's diplomatic mission.
