#2 I would think, the king, his sons and his grandchildren would be in the royal line, cut off being the great-grand children whose sole support would be their parents or themselves. Exceptions is whomever becomes king at which point the royal line starts over from there. Rest of family would just have to earn their way.

For quite some time the various brothers of the king passed the succession from one to the next, as I recall. Salman is, I think, the first in a while to bring his son into the immediate succession, and also the first to make sure that son has the work experience to be more or less prepared for the job at a fairly young age instead of being slotted in where his interrests and schooling met the needs of the kingdom.
