Princess Sara married Prince Mohammed on 6 April 2008.[3][4] They have five children, three boys and two girls: Prince Salman, Prince Mashour, Princess Fahda, Princess Noura and Prince Abdulaziz (born April 2021).[5][6]

According to Ali al-Ahmed of Institute for Gulf Affairs, based on the anonymous sources within the Al Saud family, it was reported that Princess Sara had been subject to domestic violence since the early days of her marriage. Similar allegations were also mentioned in the book Saudi Bodyguard by Mark Young who had worked for the family.[7] In 2022, The Economist reported that on at least one occasion, Mohammed beat Sara so severely that she required medical treatment.[8]
