Faisal bin Turki I Al Saud (Arabic: فيصل بن تركي الأول آل سعود Faisal bin Turkī al ʾAwwal Āl Suʿūd; 1920–1968) was a Saudi royal and politician. He was the only son of Prince Turki I and the eldest grandson of King Abdulaziz. He served as minister of interior during the reign of King Saud, his uncle and step-father, and was the country's first minister of labour and social affairs.[1] Although he was very close to King Saud, Prince Faisal was one of the Saudi royals who signed the document that asked Saud to abdicate in 1964.[2]
