Claim: A viral video circulating on social media platforms claims that Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal, who has been in a coma since a 2005 car accident, has regained consciousness and is awake. Verdict: False! The video actually shows Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al Saud visiting Dakar Rally 2025 winner Yazeed Al Rajhi in a hospital in Riyadh following a racing accident in April 2025. It does not depict Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal or indicate his recovery from a coma.
