Egyptian Star Youssra Shares Insights on Morocco’s King Mohammed VI

In an interview for the program "What did the king tell them?", broadcast by Al3omk, Youssra talks about her first meeting with King Mohammed VI. According to her, she had first met the Moroccan sovereign when he was the crown prince, through Princess Lalla Amina, during her visit to the Horse Week. After the death of King Hassan II, the Egyptian artist says she had asked Princess Lalla Amina to allow her to present her condolences and congratulate the crown prince on his accession to the throne.

King Mohammed VI has made significant human gestures towards Youssra. "I will never forget his support during the Egyptian revolution. He told me: ’You are one of us, Morocco is your country and you will always have a place there.’ In addition, he offered me his help when my mother was sick and invited me to turn to him if I needed anything, including to bring her to Morocco for care," she recounts.

Youssra is also seduced by the "simplicity" of King Mohammed VI. "The king holds the highest office, but his simplicity makes him even greater in our hearts, because of his deep humanity." The fact that the Moroccan sovereign drives his car in the midst of his people, without a restrictive security device, reflects the pride he feels towards them, a rare attitude among Arab leaders, she estimated.
