On 7 February 1999 as part of the centennial celebrations of Riyadh's capture by Abdulaziz an interview with Haya bint Saad was published in Al Jazirah, a Saudi Arabian newspaper.[8] She argued "whatever has been and will be said about the King [Abdulaziz] cannot reflect the [whole] truth."[8]

Haya bint Saad died at age 90 in Riyadh on 18 April 2003.[9] She was buried in the Al Oud cemetery there.[9]
