SAUDI ARABIA’S crown prince was reportedly forced to cancel his invitation to Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral today following outrage over his visit to Britain. 

Mohammed Bin Salman was invited to attend the grand event, despite evidence that he ordered the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. 

News of his visit to Britain sparked protests and condemnation from rights groups, which accused Prince Mohammed of using the funeral to whitewash Saudi Arabia’s appalling human rights record.
