Apparently also a close ally in the war against terror.

Shame they spend a ton of cash promoting Islamism and Wahhabism throughout the world really.

They are a valuable partner and close ally because they sell us oil and buy our weapons, nothing more. That our government and institutions dropped to their knees and fellated Saudi Arabia over the past day makes an absolute mockery of any attempts we may make to take the moral high ground over Islamic terrorism. High grade sycophancy that, frankly, makes me ashamed to be British and makes us look cynical, opportunistic and pathetic.

I've generally been fairly indifferent to the monarchy but Prince Charles jetting off to Saudi Arabia makes me feel considerably more republican.
