Influence
At the onset of the 2000s, Muhammed bin Fahd was not regarded as a viable condidate for the throne due to his reputation as a high-powered businessman grown wealthy on commissions and his playboy lifestyle. However, later Muhammed bin Fahd, together with Bandar bin Sultan and Muhammad bin Nayef, is reported to be considered as a candidate for the throne when the line of succession passes to the grandsons of King Abdulaziz. He was again mentioned as a possible contender after the death of Prince Nayef on 16 June 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word influence:
“We cannot spare our children the influence of harmful values by turning off the television any more than we can keep them home forever or revamp the world before they get there. Merely keeping them in the dark is no protection and, in fact, can make them vulnerable and immature.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“The adolescent does not develop her identity and individuality by moving outside her family. She is not triggered by some magic unconscious dynamic whereby she rejects her family in favour of her peers or of a larger society.... She continues to develop in relation to her parents. Her mother continues to have more influence over her than either her father or her friends.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The woman who can’t influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
