Princess Lalla Khadija Makes Rare Public Appearance in Rabat
King Mohammed VI’s youngest daughter made an unexpected public appearance Wednesday in Rabat. Accompanied by her aunts, the 19-year-old princess escorted Brigitte Macron at the inauguration of the Royal Theatre.
Usually very discreet, Lalla Khadija appeared particularly confident at this official event. Dressed in a satin caftan adorned with golden arabesques, the younger sister of Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan did not hesitate to greet the crowd with a smile. As noted by Le Figaro, her last public appearance dated back to March 2025, when she participated with her brother in a food basket distribution for the underprivileged, a generosity that reinforces her popularity.

Born in 2007, the daughter of the king and Princess Lalla Salma distinguishes herself through a rigorous academic path. A former student of the Royal College and recipient of an excellence award in 2016, this polyglot fluent in four languages now studies governance and economic sciences at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. Alongside this curriculum identical to her older brother’s, the princess practices archery, horseback riding, swimming, and plays piano as well as guitar.

As a senior member of the royal family, her appearances are rare but highly symbolic. After early commitments at COP22 in 2016, alongside her mother in 2017, then at Rabat Zoo in 2019, she had withdrawn from the public scene until the French presidential couple’s visit in October 2024. Her accompaniment of the French First Lady on April 22 suggests that genuine bonds have formed between the two women.
