Nasser bin Abdulaziz

Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (; 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.

Biography Prince Nasser was born in Qasr Al Hukm, Riyadh, in 1911. There are other reports, giving his birth date as 1913 and as 1921. He was the sixth son of King Abdulaziz. His mother was Bazza, a Moroccan woman. He received education in Riyadh at the school of the palace, learning Quran, horsemanship and war techniques. Upon hearing of this event, King Abdulaziz threw him in jail. Subsequently, Nasser bin Abdulaziz lost his post and never returned to public life. However, the supersession did not cause turmoil because both Nasser and Saad were regarded as weak contenders due to being relatively less experienced. Prince Nasser was one of two sons of King Abdulaziz who did not support the Crown Prince Faisal in his struggle with King Saud. Nasser and Muhdi had five sons: Prince Khalid, Prince Abdullah, Prince Fahd, Prince Turki and Prince Ahmed. 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. Mansour bin Nasser was one of King Abdullah's advisors. Yet another son, Abdulaziz bin Nasser, is a businessman and the father of Saud bin Abdulaziz, who murdered his servant in London in 2010. Abdullah bin Nasser, another son of Prince Nasser, was the president of Saudi football club Al Hilal in the 1970s. Prince Nasser's daughter, Al Bandara, died in Riyadh in February 2017.

Prince Nasser could not walk and used a wheelchair in his last years.
