Daily Mail:

The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has reportedly been keeping his mother from his father, King Salman, for fears she would interfere with his rise to power.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been stopping his mother, Fahda bint Falah bin Sultan bin Hathleen from seeing King Salman for two years, NBC News reports.

He reportedly believes that she opposed the way he ousted his cousin to become Crown Prince last year and might use her influence to turn his father against him.

NBC News say that no less than 14 current and former senior U.S. officials had spoken to them about intelligence showing that Prince Mohammed had been hiding his mother from his father. 

The sources said that Crown Prince Mohammed fears his mother would turn his father against him, and therefore 'put his mother under house arrest at least for some time at a palace in Saudi Arabia'.
