Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al Saud ( Arabic: ناصر بن عبد العزيز آل سعود; 1911 – 15 September 1984) was a Saudi Arabian businessman who served as the governor of Riyadh Province from 1938 to 1951. He was a member of the House of Saud.
Prince Nasser was born in Qasr Al Hukm, Riyadh, [1] in 1911. [2] There are other reports, giving his birth date as 1913 and as 1921. [3] He was the sixth son of King Abdulaziz. [4] His mother was Bazza, a Moroccan woman. [3] [5] Prince Nasser had no full-brothers or full-sisters. [6] He received education in Riyadh at the school of the palace, learning Quran, horsemanship and war techniques. [2]
In 1938, King Abdulaziz appointed him as the governor of Riyadh Province. [2] However, he had to resign from his post due to an incident in which several foreigners died of alcohol poisoning. [7] Upon hearing of this event, King Abdulaziz threw him in jail. [7] He was replaced by his half-brother Sultan bin Abdulaziz in the post. [8] Subsequently, Nasser bin Abdulaziz lost his post and never returned to public life. [8]
Prince Nasser and his half-brother Prince Saad were excluded from the succession, and their younger half-brother Fahd was selected as crown prince instead in 1975. [5] However, the supersession did not cause turmoil because both Nasser and Saad were regarded as weak contenders due to being relatively less experienced. [5] Furthermore, Prince Nasser lost his chance to become king due to "dissolute" mores. He was regarded as unsuitable for succession by the larger family. [4] His lack of accomplishment and low birth (his mother was a woman of colour from Morocco) were also factors leading to his exclusion. [9]
Prince Nasser was one of two sons of King Abdulaziz who did not support the Crown Prince Faisal in his struggle with King Saud. [8]
One of his wives, Muhdi bint Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Sudairi, was the younger sister of his step-mother, Hussa, who was the mother of seven influential sons, known as the Sudairi Seven. [10] Nasser and Muhdi had five sons: Prince Khalid, Prince Abdullah, Prince Fahd, Prince Turki and Prince Ahmed. [10] His other spouse was a daughter of Abdullah bin Mutaib Al Rashid. [8] Another one was a great granddaughter of Nuri Al Shalaan. [11]
One of Nasser's sons, Turki, was a former military officer and the former head of the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment (PME). Another son, Mohammed bin Nasser, is the governor of Jizan Province. [12] Mansour bin Nasser was one of King Abdullah's advisors. [13] Yet another son, Abdulaziz bin Nasser, is a businessman [14] and the father of Saud bin Abdulaziz, who murdered his servant in London in 2010. [15] Abdullah bin Nasser, another son of Prince Nasser, was the president of Saudi football club Al Hilal in the 1970s. [16]
Prince Nasser's daughter, Al Bandara, died in Riyadh in February 2017. [17]
Prince Nasser could not walk and used a wheelchair in his last years. [5] He died on 15 September 1984 and was buried in Riyadh. [2]
His family founded the Prince Nasser bin Abdulaziz Center for Autism, an affiliated body of the Saudi Autism Center; the center was opened in April 2012. [18] [19]
