Saudi Arabia’s former Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Nayef made a rare public appearance following his ouster in June in a palace shakeup that brought his younger cousin closer to the throne.
Prince Muhammad, who was also removed from his post as interior minister, attended the funeral of another senior prince who was killed in a helicopter crash this week. The Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television posted a photo of the prince, known among journalists and diplomats as MBN, at the funeral. Photos of him at the event also circulated on social media.
