Early life
Sayyid Badr was born in Muscat on the 30 May 1960. He is the second son of Sayyid Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi, who worked under the Sultan Said bin Taimur and Sultan Qaboos.
During the 1960s, the elder Sayyid Badr was the private secretary of Said bin Taimur, who lived exclusively in Salalah. During this time the family lived in the Salalah palace compounds.
In 1970 Sultan Qaboos succeeded his father and made his residence in Muscat. Sayyid Hamad moved the family to Muscat in order to assist the new sultan in the development of a modern administration [4] where he held the position of the Minister of Diwan.[5](Court) affairs until 1986, that manages the relations between the Sultan and the citizens.[6] In 1986 Sayyid Hamad became the personal adviser of Sultan Qaboos until his death in 2002.
