I Married a Saudi Arabian Prince: My Life as a Royal
Moving to Saudi Arabia was never something I thought I’d have to do, but when my husband married me, that’s exactly what happened. Now, five years later, I’m still adjusting to my new life and struggling to find the things that will make me happy here, like friends and family who want to see me every now and then, not just once or twice a year.
Here are some things you should know about getting married in Saudi Arabia if you think it might be something you want to do someday too!
How we met
We met through a mutual friend at a party. He was charming and handsome, and we hit it off immediately. We started dating soon after, and he proposed to me six months later. I said yes, of course!
Our first date
My husband and I met on a dating website. We chatted for a few weeks before he asked me to meet him in person. I was hesitant at first, but he seemed like a nice guy, so I agreed. We met at a coffee shop and talked for hours. I knew right away that I wanted to marry him.

How he proposed
It was the middle of summer when my husband, Prince Ahmed bin Salman, proposed. He took me on a romantic horseback ride through the desert and then down to the beach, where he had a picnic dinner set up. As we watched the sun set, he asked me to marry him, and I said yes! It was a fairy-tale proposal that I will never forget.
What it was like moving to another country
I married a Saudi Arabian prince and moved to his home country. It was a culture shock, to say the least. I had to adjust to living in a palace, wearing traditional clothing, and being waited on hand and foot. But I soon grew to love my new life and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Daily life with an Arab man
I married a Saudi Arabian prince, and my life changed overnight. I became a royal and had to learn all the customs and protocols that came with it. It was a lot of work, but it was also an incredible experience. I got to travel the world, meet amazing people, and live a life of luxury.
Can you believe it’s real?
I still can’t believe that I am a princess. It all started when my husband, Prince Fahd, and I met at a party in London. We hit it off immediately and began dating.
A few months later, he proposed, and I said yes! We got married in a traditional Saudi Arabian ceremony, and now we live in a palace with our two children. Our lives are like something out of a fairytale, and I am so grateful for every moment.
The criticisms against marrying a local man/Arab man
In Saudi Arabia, there is a lot of pressure to marry a local man or an Arab man. This is because it is seen as more traditional and appropriate. However, I have found that this isn't always the case. There are many benefits to marrying a foreigner, including the fact that they are often more open-minded and accepting of different cultures. Additionally, they tend to be more financially stable and can provide a higher standard of living for their families.
