On Saturday, the Royal Palace of Morocco announced the passing of Princess Lalla Latifa, who had been a beloved member of the royal family for many years. Born as Latifa Amahzoune, she became a princess when she married King Hassan II on November 9, 1961. Over the course of their marriage, they had five children together: Princesses Lalla Meryem, Lalla Asmaa, Lalla Hasnaa, Prince Moulay Rachid and King Mohammed VI.
The announcement of her passing was widely reported in the Moroccan media and expressed immense sadness and deep sorrow at her demise. The royal family has been deeply affected by this loss and the people of Morocco are grieving the passing of a beloved member of their royal family. The legacy of Princess Lalla Latifa will be remembered and honored as prayers continue to be offered for her soul and for the enduring reign of King Mohammed VI.
According to Africa Intelligence, Lalla Latifa had a residence in Paris where King Mohammed VI visited her in 2022 as her health was declining. Her death has left a void in the royal family and among those who knew her personally or through her work with various charities and initiatives that she supported over the years.
