The first Prince Turki was Abdulaziz's first son who died in 1919 due to Spanish flu. Sultan's mother is Noura, the daughter of Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman.

Kidnappings
In 2004, Prince Sultan accused the government of Saudi Arabia of kidnapping him in June 2003 in Switzerland after he spoke out in favour of reform in Saudi Arabia. He was lured to a meeting in Geneva where he was drugged before being flown back to the Kingdom and was kept under house arrest in Riyadh. To finish the mission successfully, a Boeing 747 medical evacuation aircraft was sent especially for this purpose after sedating him. The aircraft arrived at Geneva Airport a few days before the kidnapping operation, and it was always in a state of readiness. Another aircraft was sent to carry the personal effects, papers, files and documents of Prince Sultan, which were later confiscated from the Hotel where he had been staying and taken to Riyadh. The aircraft was officially registered in Switzerland as part of the entourage of Prince Abdul Aziz bin Fahd, who was on visit to Switzerland at the time.
