Profile: Princess Reema Bint Bandar

Princess Reema (sometimes Rima) Bint Bandar has become a prominent figure in a branch of the Al-Saud now closely associated with diplomacy. Her brother Prince Khalid Bin Bandar Bin Sultan was, until recently, ambassador to Germany. Their father, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, was ambassador to Washington between 1983 and 2005 before becoming secretary general of the National Security Council and then head of the General Intelligence Directorate; he made a surprise return to the public arena last month in an extensive interview.
