Early life
Prince Abdul Ilah was born in 1935.[2][3] He is a son of King Abdulaziz and Haya bint Saad al Sudairi. His mother was a member of powerful Sudairi family. She died in Riyadh in 2003 at the age of 90. He is a full brother of Prince Badr and the late Prince Abdul Majeed. [4]
Positions held
Prince Abdul Ilah served as the governor of Al-Qassim Province from March 1980 to March 1992. Then, he was appointed as governor of Al Jawf Province from 1998 to 2001.[2][5]
He has accompanied King Abdullah on diplomatic trips abroad, since Abdullah was still Crown Prince.[6][7]
He is a member of the Allegiance Council.[8]
On October 8, 2008, he was appointed as adviser to King Abdullah with the rank of minister.[8]
He is also an entrepreneur and has served as chairman of the Arabian Jewelry Company, National Investment Company, and the National Automobile Company.[2]
Succession
While Abdul Ilah bin Abdulaziz can be a candidate for the throne by virtue of seniority, he has some drawbacks, such as his ill-starred government career. Since he was twice removed from governorships, there are questions about his competency.[9]
Personal life
His son, Abdul Aziz (born 1965), is a stakeholder in Al-Rajhi Bank.[2] His other children, one son and two daughters, are Mishail, Abdul Majid and Fahda.[10]
