The Royal Family and the Moroccan people as a whole celebrate, on Monday, with joy, the twentieth birthday of Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, a happy event reflecting, as usual, the real dimension of the unwavering and irreversible attachment of the people Moroccan to the Glorious Alaouite Throne, guarantor of the unity and stability of the Kingdom.
This anniversary recalls the memory of the happy moments of Thursday, May 8, 2003, when the Ministry of the Royal Household, Protocol and Chancellery announced the blessed birth, at the Royal Palace in Rabat, of a boy whom King Mohammed VI kindly baptized with the first name of Moulay El Hassan, in homage to the memory of his grandfather, the late Hassan II, peace to his soul.
The celebration of the 20th anniversary of Moulay El Hassan thus renews the unchanging attachment of Moroccans to the Glorious Alaouite Throne through the oath of allegiance uniting them to Amir Al-Mouminine, defender of the faith and guarantor of the supreme interests of the Nation and the citizens.
This happy event is also an opportunity to remember some of the main activities of the Crown Prince who, in July 2020, obtained the “international option” baccalaureate, “Economic and social sciences” sector with the mention “Very good”.
On September 18, 2022, Moulay El Hassan chaired, at the Polo Club Souissi of the Royal Guard in Rabat, the final of the first edition of the Polo Throne Cup.
On October 17 of the same year, he presided over the opening ceremony of the 13th edition of the El Jadida Horse Show, held from October 18 to 23 under the High Patronage of King Mohammed VI.
A month later, to the day, Moulay El Hassan had inaugurated, at the headquarters of the Organization of the Islamic World for Education, Science and Culture (ICESCO) in Rabat, the international exhibition and the Museum of Sira Annabaouia (life of the Prophet) and Islamic civilization, placed under the patronage of King Mohammed VI.
On March 28, 2023, the funeral of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives and former First Secretary of the Socialist Union of Popular Forces (USFP), the late Abdelouahed Radi, took place at the Achouhada cemetery in Rabat, in the presence of Prince Heir to Moulay El Hassan and Prince Moulay Rachid.
Moulay El Hassan also accompanies the King during his various official activities. Thus, over the past twelve months, he has been present alongside the Sovereign, in particular during the audience granted to Abdellatif Jouahri, Wali Bank Al-Maghrib, who presented to the Sovereign the Central Bank’s annual report on the situation economic, monetary and financial for the 2021 financial year.
The Crown Prince also accompanied the King on the occasion of the commemoration of Eid Al-Mawlid Al-Nabawi Acharif, the opening of the 1st session of the 2nd legislative year of the 11th legislature (October 14, 2022), and the audience granted by the Sovereign to the members of the National Football Team, after their brilliant performance at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
Moulay El Hassan, likewise, was present alongside the King on the occasion of several Councils of Ministers and the launch of the national operation “Ramadan 1444”, initiated by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity on the occasion of the month of Ramadan, as well as during the religious talks that the Sovereign had presided over on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, the religious vigil in commemoration of the blessed Laylat Al-Qadr and the Eid Al-Fitr prayer.
Each of Moulay El Hassan’s public appearances thus comes to perpetuate a long tradition which aims to initiate and familiarize the Crown Prince with the exercise of the responsibilities that he will be called upon to assume within a society which remains attached to its values and its plural identity.
