Princess Reema is no stranger to the workings of diplomats, having spent several years in the US during her youth when her father, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, was Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the country.
Before her diplomatic appointment, Princess Reema held various key positions in government as well as civic groups and private firms.

She was also vice president of women’s affairs at the General Sports Authority since 2016 before her appointment as ambassador.
