Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco Makes Rare Public Appearance at Cancer Center

It has been almost two years since Princess Lalla Salma has appeared on the public scene. This disappearance has fueled wild rumors throughout the Kingdom of Morocco and beyond its borders. Failing to completely dispel the rumors, the reappearance of the president of the Foundation for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancers will at least convince of her presence in the kingdom and her social commitment.

Indeed, witnesses speak of nearly two hours spent inside the Beni Mellal oncology center by the Princess, who went to the bedside of the patients and in contact with the medical staff.

The absence of Princess Lalla Salma, who nevertheless accompanied the King in most of his travels, is not without concern within the population, who have seen Mohammed VI in his recent outings rather accompanied by his two children or his brother Prince Moulay Rachid, or even his sisters, Princesses Lalla Meriem, Lalla Asmae and Lalla Hasna.

This prolonged absence further fuels the rumors that speculate on a temporary separation or a probable divorce of the royal couple. Rumors that so far have not led the Palace spokesman to make any statement.
