At just 31 yrs. old he must have already ruffled a lot of feathers in a royal family that was used to being presided over by a succession of elderly men. But it’s a heads up to the next Generation that things are changing as some have said......likely if conflict it will be between the generations.

There has been debate about the future of the Saudi royal family since King Fahd's time. In the Al-Saud's internal agreements the King was selected from one of King's Abdul Aziz's sons.

As the sons were getting old so preparations for the future were thought about.

King Fahd ignored this and the matter was buried till King Abdullah selected a vice crown prince prince Mekren Ibn Abdel Aziz (his step brother) that enforced the succession of power limiting it to the sons for the near future.

After king's Abdullah death,Salman assumed power and he appointed a vice crown prince Mohamed Ibn Naief Ibn Abdelaziz. This clarified things as now Mohamed bin Nafief was to be the first grandson of Abdul Aziz to be a future king.

Then, after a few more months King Salman removed his brother then crown prince Mekkren, promoted Mohamed Ibn Naief to crown prince and put his own son Mohamed Ibn Salman as the vice crown prince.

King Salman made it clear that the future of the kingdom will relay only on a small faction inside the royal family called the Sudairi Seven and their sons. (The Sudairi Seven, is the commonly used name for a powerful alliance of seven full brothers within the House of Saud.

They all are sons of King Abdulaziz 'Ibn Saud' and his wife Hussa Sudairi. The oldest (Fahd) served as king from 1982 to 2005; the second- and fourth-oldest (Sultan and Nayef) served as crown prince but predeceased King Abdullah, and the sixth-oldest (Salman) succeeded Abdullah as king in 2015.

And NOW, Salman installed his son i.e. setting up his dynasty.
