The 34-year-old prince, whose grandfather is a brother of the current Saudi king, faces a possible life prison term in prison when he is sentenced on Wednesday.
The jury deliberated 95 minutes before returning its verdict today.
Jurors rejected a claim by his defense lawyer John Kelsey-Fry that the prince was guilty only of manslaughter.
The prince was convicted of both murder and a second count of grievous bodily harm with intent relating to the attack in the elevator.
