Every Saudi prince who ever earned OR DID NOT EARN a degree from an American university later received an honorary doctorate from that university. Prince Turki Al-Faysal, for example, never finished his BA education at Georgetown but he was later awarded an honorary doctorate from that University, perhaps Georgetown was rewarding him for his successful sponsorship of Bin Laden over the years. And Prince Sattam (the new governor of Riyadh) studied at San Diego State (or University of San Diego as you can't tell from the Arabic name of the school) and was later awarded an honorary doctorate from that University. And did not Prince Sa`ud bin Nayif receive an honorary doctorate from Portland State University?
