Basmah bint Saud, the princess and daughter of Saudi Arabia’s second monarch, went missing in March 2019 and landed in an infamous Saudi prison without any charges, according to a post she made on social media at the time.
Following the ascension of his father, King Salman, to the throne in 2015, he has prosecuted opponents, activists, and rival royals, as well as imprisoning and shaking down princes in an anti-corruption campaign.
According to her legal advisor Henri Estramant, Princess Basmah, 58, and her 30-year-old daughter Suhoud al-Sharif were released from al-Ha’ir Prison on the outskirts of Riyadh last week and arrived in the coastal city of Jiddah on Thursday.
According to him, Princess Basmah has health problems, including osteoporosis, and is now concentrating on recovering and spending time with her family.
