Riyadh: Saudi Arabia appointed Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s younger brother as deputy defense minister on Saturday and named a princess as the kingdom’s first woman ambassador to the United States.



The new envoy, Princess Reema bint Bandar bin Sultan, is the daughter of a former long-time ambassador to the United States.



She had a career in the private sector before joining the kingdom’s General Sports Authority where she championed women’s participation in sports and focused on increasing women’s empowerment. Reuters
