HTTPS was unfiltered (not sure if its still true), any website that had a secure part could be easily got to.

Not sure what power he's being returned to. His dad, Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qassim, is the current ruler and has been since 1948. Sheikh Khalid was only Crown Prince, so even if he got that back, how much power would he have.

You'll notice that nobody in local dress is ever seen drinking alcohol.

I lived in Ras AL Khaimah (UAE emirate) and saw loads of locals in local dress drinking alcohol. Certain bars were well known for it.
