Princess Basmah Bint Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, 57, a businesswoman, rights activist and member of the royal family, went missing in March 2019 along with her adult daughter Souhoud Al Sharif.

"The two ladies were released from their arbitrary imprisonment, and arrived at their home in Jeddah on Thursday 6th January, 2022," her legal advisor Henri Estramant said.

The Saudi government media office did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The government has never publicly commented about the case. The youngest child of the late King Saud, Princess Basmah has been critical of the kingdom's treatment of women. The charges were later dropped, but she remained imprisoned along with her daughter who was with her at the time, the relative said.
