The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Bin Salman has welcomed a baby boy, reported Gulf News.
The crown prince named his newborn Abdul Aziz after his grandfather, the kingdom’s founder.
The latest addition to the family makes the 35-year-old prince a father of five children: three boys and two girls.
The Saudi royals received greetings and well wishes on the birth of Abdul Aziz Jr.
“May Allah make him a baby of happiness, bless him and make him a source of joy for his parents,” tweeted Prince Saud, the crown prince’s brother.
