I won’t go to school unless I see the prince

A Saudi child refused to go to school before she meets a member of the royal family who she had sighted during a recent visit to her town, the Saudi Arabic language daily Almadina reported on Sunday.

Rania Al Ghamdi, from the southwestern town of Aqeeq, remained adamant and insisted she would not go to class unless her family takes her to the palace to meet the Prince, Mashari bin Saud, the Emir of Baha, near her town and say hi to him, the paper said.

“Her family could not dissuade her so they took her to the palace and asked the gate guards to let them see the prince after telling them the reason,” it said.

“The prince immediately asked the guards to let them in. He received the child and then they were photographed together.”
