Saudi Regime Compelled to Pay Secret Wife of Late King Fahd $23 Million

Alwaght- The Saudi regime has been compelled to pay $23 million to a woman who says she was the "secret wife" of the late King Fahd.
British Judge Peter Smith on Tuesday ordered that Janan Harb, 68, receive more than 15 million pounds ($23 million) and two expensive apartments in London's Chelsea neighborhood that had been promised her. He said her claim to a financial settlement was "credible."
Harb had told the court she secretly married the king in 1968 when he was still a prince. She testified that he had promised to look after her financially for the rest of her life. Palestinian-born Harb had told the court the king’s family opposed their marriage.
She said in a statement: “Fahd was concerned about how this would be viewed by the Saudi public, many of whom follow a strict interpretation of Islam that preaches deep enmity and hostility to all other religions. It was for this reason that in March 1968 we underwent a discreet ceremony of marriage.” Harb said she converted to Islam shortly before the ceremony.
Over the next three years she fell pregnant three times but each time had an abortion at Fahd’s request “because of his concern over the outcry if it had become known that Fahd had fathered a child with a woman from my background”.
Harb said she was banished from Saudi Arabia by the king’s immediate family in 1970 after they “wrongly” blamed her for his addiction to methadone.
She thought then that banishment had led to a divorce, and she went on to have two further marriages, both of which ended in divorce. The king also married again and had a number of children, including Prince Abdul Aziz.
Her testimony indicated she had been promised the financial settlement by Prince Abdul Aziz, the son of another of the king’s wives, when he met with her at London’s posh Dorchester Hotel in 2003 when the king was seriously ill.
The prince declined to testify in person but denied her claims in written statements. He was held in contempt of court for refusing to testify.
The judge told the prince’s lawyer his case had been severely damaged by the prince’s refusal to appear because the case revolved around whether his or Harb’s statements were believable.
