Daily Mail: Saudi King 'will have Crown Prince REPLACED to restore the credibility of the monarchy' after his disastrous handling of the Khashoggi murder
* Saudi Crown Prince is facing a battle to contain fallout over the Khashoggi killing
* Journalist went missing after entering Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2
* Donald Trump has said the kingdom's de facto ruler may be behind the death
* Colonel Brian Lees, Britain's former defence attaché to Saudi Arabia, has said Saudi King Salman may look to replace his son to restore credibility of monarchy
Saudi Arabia's King could have his Crown Prince son replaced to restore the credibility of the monarchy amid turmoil over the Jamal Khashoggi murder, Britain's former defence attaché to the kingdom has claimed.

WNU Editor: What we have seen .... and will be seeing in the coming weeks .... is internal Royal Saudi family politics at play. And as to what will be the fallout, I suspect that we are going to be seeing some drastic changes, but Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will still remain as the Crown Prince (but with more supervision from the King's office).

Anyone want to start a pool on how long MBS has?
I would gladly take the over.
He has survived the situation so far. The international fallout has largely reached as far as it is going to.
Aside from recordings coming out containing video and audio of MBS directly ordering the death of Khashoggi, MBS will stay on the Throne.
Things may change around him, but he will be there for quite a while.
The Saudi kingship has survived far more scandalous events
As one of his many wives had said:
SOME DAY MY PRINCE WILL COME
Good one Anon about the wives. :)
Theee could be more internal strife. No telling MSB would or could do next.
The entire family lacks credibility.
