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. She argued "whatever has been and will be said about the King [Abdulaziz] cannot reflect the [whole] truth."

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