He would not have returned to Riyadh for nothing, see https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3694311/posts?page=75#75
The question is open: will MbS be replaced as Crown Prince, and if so by his brother Khalid or the Kings brother Ahmed Bin Abdulaziz? or, by the former Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, or
will Khalid be appointed deputy Crown Prince?
Speculations:
Prince Ahmad bin Abdulaziz returns to Riyadh with UK and US security guarantees and a brief to cut the crown prince down to size
