Question: Is the Emir of Kuwait related to the royal Saud family?

.

Answer 1

I think all the ruling families of the middle east are related. One thing they do have in common is that they are all Super Rich Oil Billionaires!!

Answer 2

No, The Emir  of Kuwait is not related to the Al Saud family

Answer 3

Yes, some where along the line, cheers.

Answer 4

I find nothing on line that would indicate a relationship although the Emir family is described as coming from the "hinterlands" of Arabia.  If they are related, they certainly do not share the same values.  Kuwait supports women's rights, for example, and is a constitutional monarchy.

Answer 5

The Emir of Kuwait is the head of the executive branch. He is nominated by a family council, headed by the most senior and prominent members of the Al-Sabah. The leadership is not strictly hereditary, and although many Emirs have succeeded their fathers, the family chooses the leader from each succeeding generation. For example, the late Sheikh Jaber Al-Sabah appointed his cousin Sheikh Saad as Heir Apparent.
