]]>  Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman was marginalized in the so-called family photo taken of world leaders gathered at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires.

Earlier the prince met President Cyril Ramaphosa for discussions on cooperation in energy and investment.

The presence of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman at the gathering of leaders of the world’s richest countries is controversial following the killing in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul of dissident Jamal Khashoggi.

The prince is widely believed to have ordered that killing.

In Buenos Aires last night he was left at the edge of the so-called family portrait and largely ignored by fellow attendees before he stormed off.

Later he and Russian leader Vladimir Putin exchanged high-fives as they entered the meeting chamber.
