    Picture of the dead Sheikh is shown on the link below. He was only 14 yaers old and driving.......mmmmmm. Guess the law does not apply when you are royalty in this part of the world.

    He was driving himself......he is only 15 years old. The legal driving age in Bahrain is 18 years. What does this say about laws and regulations when royalty are concerned?

    If it had been Prince Harry at 14/15 years...caught driving at an illegal age........he would have had to answer to a judge.But I guess we live in a different part of the world with different rules.

    If he died because he was arrogant and stupid we should not forget that. Forgetting the truth is no sign of disrespect. And no one will learn from his self-righteous mistakes.

    It's not quite clear who was driving the car. Some reports say it was one of his bodyguards.

    Bahrain king’s teenage son killed in car accident
    (AFP)

    12 January 2006



    MANAMA - Bahraini King Hamad’s 14-year-old son was killed in a car accident on on Thursday in Manama, an information ministry official told AFP.


    Shaikh Faisal bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the youngest of king’s six sons, was killed when the car he was in collided with a bus in the southern part of Manama, the official, who did not wish to be identified, told AFP.

    The teenager had been with a number of bodyguards, one of whom was driving the car, he said.

    Bahraini state television interrupted its programmes to air verses from the Quran, an AFP correspondent said.

    Sheikh Faisal did not have any official function and was honorary president of the Bahraini sports federation for the handicapped.

    King Hamad acceded to power in 1999 on the death of his father.

    He was driving himself which is against the law in Bahrain. You have to be 18 years to drive. Check the following link:
