The BBC documentary 'The Kingdom: The World’s Most Powerful Prince' chronicles the rise of Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) from an obscure royal to the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia. It highlights his ambitious plans to modernize the kingdom, including selling a stake in Aramco, investing in Silicon Valley startups, and empowering women in the workforce. Key figures, including former allies and Western diplomats, provide insights into MBS's ruthless tactics and strategic maneuvering to eliminate rivals and secure power. The documentary also features Saad al-Jabri, a former security official who details MBS's fears of palace intrigue and his grand aspirations, likening his ambitions to those of Alexander the Great. While MBS has implemented many reforms, he faces accusations of human rights abuses and political repression. The Saudi government has declined to comment on the documentary's claims.
