Saad bin Abdulaziz

Saad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (; 1915 23 July 1993) was a former governor of 'Asir and a member of House of Saud. He was also a former chairman of royal family council of Al Saud. The council was created to look after the members of the Saudi royal family and was not related to any political issues.

Early life and education Prince Saad was born in Qasr Al Hukm, Riyadh, in 1915 as the seventh son of King Abdulaziz. However, there is another report, citing his birth year as 1920. His mother was Jawhara bint Saad Al Sudairi. She was widow of Saad bin Abdul Rahman, full brother of King Abdulaziz. Prince Saad had two full brothers Prince Abdul Muhsin and Prince Musa'id.

Jawhara bint Saad was the sister of Haya bint Saad who was another spouse of King Abdulaziz and the mother of Prince Badr, Prince Abdul Majid and Prince Abdul Illah.

Succession As a son of King Abdulaziz, Prince Saad was a potential successor to the Saudi Arabian throne. However, he and his half-brother Nasser were sidelined in favour of their younger half-brother Fahd, who was appointed crown prince in 1975. Both Prince Saad and Prince Nasser were regarded as weak contenders due to being less experienced in government affairs than Prince Fahd. Prince Khalid's mother Princess Jazwa bint Saud bin Kharssan Al Shamer Al Ajmi, Prince Mohammed's mother Princess Noura Abdul Lateef Nader Shah, mother of Prince Abdullah, Prince Sultan and Princess Latifa

In May 1992 Prince Saad and his wife, Princess Noura, caused a controversy when their employee accused them of abusing in their residence in Houston, Texas.

His son, Mohammed bin Saad, is a former advisor of Prince Nayef and deputy governor of Riyadh Province. His other son, Abdulaziz, is former deputy governor of the Hail Region. He was named the governor of the Hail Region in 2017 replacing Saud bin Abdul Muhsin Al Saud in the post.
