MBS didn’t just have a casual dine in with his important guest, but also went viral on Twitter as he took a heartwarming selfie with one young diner, which sparked masses of adulations towards him.
This isn’t the first selfie that the Saudi Crown Prince is present in to have gone viral. In 2017, the prince was spotted touring the historical Al Ula Mountains by tourists, and he kindly snapped selfies and greeted them, and consequently, those selfies went viral too.
