Also on Tuesday, Prince William attended an E-Sports tournament in the city and separately toured a section of the 84-mile (135km) Sports Boulevard, a network of sports facilities, green space, cycling and walking paths nominated for his environmental Earthshot Prize.
The prince spoke to local residents who make use of the urban regeneration project, including Reem Alrowaili and her seven-year-old daughter, Eliana Mufti.
Alrowaili, 43, said they had spoken about “women’s empowerment”: “I lived the old days where we were not allowed to do anything, and now I’m really happy for my daughter because she will experience the good life, the better life.”
Prince William also met a delegation including the mayor of Riyadh at the boulevard, which is aiming to become the world’s largest linear park upon completion.
