The delegation from the Saudi Arabian royal family, which included Princess Sara bint Mashour Al Saud, wife of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who had scheduled a visit to Madeira in the coming days, cancelled the trip, citing a violation of privacy.
According to information obtained by DIÁRIO this afternoon, several service providers had their contracts cancelled to ensure the passage of the royal delegation through Madeira. The Regional Command of the PSP (Public Security Police) also confirmed, at the end of this Wednesday, after being questioned by this newspaper, that it had no operation underway to receive or accompany the delegation, stating that it was unaware of the program for this alleged trip.
Preparations related to travel, accommodation, and other requirements were underway, but the visitors reportedly disliked how the process was handled, claiming that these circumstances violated their privacy.
Just yesterday, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft from the Saudi Arabian Kingdom’s fleet made several landings and takeoffs at Madeira International Airport – Cristiano Ronaldo, with the aim of testing the airport’s capacity to receive this type of aircraft. This was the first time an aircraft of this model had touched down on Madeiran soil.
Initially, a source connected to the preparation process for this trip, which required a large logistical mobilization given the number of people in the delegation, reported the arrival of the Crown Prince himself, Mohammed bin Salman, who last November dined with Donald Trump at the White House, a meeting that also included the Madeira-born football star Cristiano Ronaldo.
