Royal Passions Unveiled: Morocco’s Young Heirs Balance Tradition and Modern Pursuits

What do the children of Mohammed VI and Lalla Salma devote their free time to? Moulay Hassan is a sports enthusiast, particularly football which he has been practicing since childhood or kitesurfing on the beaches of Rabat. But not only that. The heir apparent also loves cinema, just like his sister Lalla Khadija and their mother Lalla Salma, reports Hola! Maroc. Cinema is one of the hobbies of the Moroccan royal family, which is also the initiator of the Marrakech International Film Festival, launched in 2000 and chaired by Moulay Rachid, the king’s brother.

Like many young Moroccans, Moulay Hassan is a fan of ElGrande Toto, a famous Moroccan rapper considered the most listened to artist in the MENA region. The son of Mohammed VI, who was also interested in aviation, holds a degree in law and economics. He is pursuing postgraduate studies in regional and geopolitical studies.

What about Princess Lalla Khadija? In addition to her passion for fashion and trends, the recently of-age Moroccan princess also loves animals and music. She has been taking piano and guitar lessons since childhood. In her role as a princess, she takes a particular interest in issues related to social justice. Like other members of the Moroccan royal family, Moulay Hassan’s sister speaks Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
