Saudi Prince's 100 mln pounds London home up for sale

London, Jul 30: Want to rub shoulders with billionaires and live life king-size?

A Saudi Prince is reportedly selling his palatial house which is located close to where Prince William and wife Kate Middleton, Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and the Sultan of Brunei stay.

The house is priced at 100 million pounds and if the deal goes ahead it will be one of the most expensive houses ever sold in the UK, but would-be buyers have been sworn to secrecy.

Prince Abdul Aziz bin Fahd, the favourite son of the late King Fahd who led Saudi Arabia for 23 years, is understood to be trying to sell 5 Palace Green in Kensington, The Times reported.

Knight Frank, the estate agent to the rich, is believed to have approached a number of potential buyers who have signed confidentiality agreements.

The house is located at the southern end of Kensington Palace Gardens, which is Britain's most expensive street and often referred to as "Billionaires' Row".

The guarded street is home to embassies and some of the world's richest tycoons including the Sultan of Brunei, the Ukrainian-born American businessman Len Blavatnik, the steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and his family, and Jon Hunt, the founder of Foxtons estate agent.

Houses in Kensington Palace Gardens, prized for its exclusivity and security and its large mansions and gardens, can be more than 6,000 pounds a sq ft in value.

The owners of the 29 homes along Billionaires' Row also live yards from Kensington Palace. Such has been the demand in recent years for homes on this small stretch of southwest London that the total value of the homes there has soared to more than 3.5 billion pounds— higher in value than all the 2,600 homes in Chipping Norton, David Cameron's constituency home in Oxfordshire.

Prince Abdul Aziz bin Fadh's 5 Palace Green is a detached, listed building designed in 1905 by the architect Edward Prioleau Warren.

The three-storey red brick building has Portland stone dressings and a central entrance beneath a gabled façade, large gate piers and iron railings. The interior is understood to have marble staircases with wrought-iron balustrades.

Prince Abdul Aziz bin Fadh also owns 12 Kensington Palace Gardens, which has belonged to the Saudi royal family since the late 1970s. It is understood that buyers have made speculative approaches to buy this house, which is valued at about 150 million pounds.

In meeting with Zohran Mamdani, Trump repeats claim he stopped India-Pak war

Agencies

November 22,2025

New York/Washington: US President Donald Trump has again claimed to have solved the conflict between India and Pakistan, repeating his assertion during a meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office.

Mamdani flew to Washington DC for his first meeting with Trump in the White House on Friday. Trump said he “enjoyed” the meeting, which he described as “great.”

During remarks in the Oval Office, with Mamdani standing next to him, Trump repeated his claim that he solved the May conflict between India and Pakistan.

"I did eight peace deals of countries, including India and Pakistan,” he said.

On Wednesday, Trump had said he threatened to put 350 per cent tariffs on India and Pakistan if they did not end their conflict, repeating his claim that he solved the fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called him to say “we're not going to go to war.”

Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 60 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between India and Pakistan.

India has consistently denied any third-party intervention. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.

Mamdani emerged victorious in the closely-watched battle for New York City Mayor, becoming the first South Asian and Muslim to be elected to sit at the helm of the largest city in the US.

He had been the front-runner in the NYC Mayoral election for months and defeated Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and political heavyweight former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent candidate and was officially endorsed by Trump just hours before the elections.

Indian-descent Mamdani is the son of renowned filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani. He was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda and moved to New York City with his family when he was 7. Mamdani became a naturalised US citizen only recently, in 2018.
