Prince Bandar Bin Sultan

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman solidified his immediate family's sway by promoting his full brother and tried to turn the page on relations with the US by appointing the kingdom's first female ambassador to America.

For anyone who remembers Washington in the 1980s and 1990s, the Saudi ambassador at the time was something of a legend. Prince Bandar bin Sultan seemed to know everybody. He was close friends with both Bush presidents and enjoyed warm ties with President Bill Clinton.
