SAUDI ROYAL DECREE RELIEVES MOAHMMED BIN NAYEF AS CROWN PRINCE, REPLACES HIM WITH MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN.

From wiki:  The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is the second most important position in Saudi Arabia, second to the king, and is his designated successor.

From NBC News:
Saudi Arabia named Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman, the king's son, as crown prince by royal decree on Wednesday, the official Saudi Press Agency announced.
Prince Mohammed, 31, replaces Muhammad bin Nayef as the heir-apparent to King Salman, 81, who assumed the throne in January 2015. Bin Nayef, a nephew of the king's, was also removed as deputy premier and interior minister.
Prince Mohammed will remain defense minister.
No reason for the replacement was immediately announced, but Prince Mohammed, not Bin Nayef, was tapped to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House in March, a meeting that was widely hailed as a success in Saudi Arabia. 
No reason given, but perhaps the Russians interfered with this, just as they interfered with the 2016 US elections depriving Ms Hillary Clinton her god-given right to be POTUS.
