THE Saudi crown prince’s plans to visit Britain to offer condolences to the royal family has been condemned as “obscene” by anti-arms campaigners, who warned the despot is not welcome.
Mohammed bin Salman is due to travel to London on Sunday to pay his respects to the Queen, according to reports in the Guardian and CNN Arabic, though it has not been confirmed whether he will attend the funeral at Westminster Abbey.
It would be the first time the crown prince has visited Britain since the murder of Washington Post journalist and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
