From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is the story.
I'm Luke Jones.
Prince William is off to Saudi Arabia,
a well-beaten desert path for British royals looking to curry favour on behalf of our government.
The visits can often be fun and games, sword dances, lavish dinners,
Do yourself a favour and search online for a picture of then Prince Charles in full Arabian dress complete with golden sword,
dagger and an ammunition belt.
But is the task harder for Prince William in 2026?
What with the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia still accused of overseeing the murder of a journalist?
The United Nations has just issued its report on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
The Saudi journalist was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October last year.
The CIA and some Western countries believe Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, ordered the killing.
Saudi officials have always denied this.
For all its recent modernising, Saudi Arabia is still a country with a dismal human rights record.
It's not a place you'd want to stand trial.
They still execute people for being gay, for protesting, but they have a lot of money.
Huge opportunities for the UK and for Saudi Arabia and the other GCC countries to access UK capital markets,
to have our services businesses, whether it's insurance,
financial services, or indeed education and health.
