Prince Badr bin Abdul-Aziz (born 1933) is a senior member of the Saudi royal family. He is a former Deputy Commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG). He participated in the Free Princes movement in 1962-1964 during which time he lived in exile, mostly in Beirut and Cairo. He was rehabilitated by King Faisal and named to SANG in 1968.
He is the 9th oldest surviving son of the late King Abdul-Aziz. He is not likely to become a future king of Saudi Arabia because of his lack of experience in high-level positions. He has one surviving full-brother, Abdul-Ilah. Abdul-Ilah was born in 1935[1] and is an adviser to King Abdullah.
Health concerns caused him to request that King Abdullah relieve him from service as Deputy Commander of the National Guard.[2]
His son Fahd is the Governor of Al Jawf Province.
