20th Birthday of HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, Happy Event Celebrated in Jubilation and Joy

The Royal Family and the entire Moroccan people celebrate, on Monday, in jubilation and joy the twentieth birthday of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, a happy event reflecting, as usual, the real dimension of the unwavering and irreversible attachment of the Moroccan people to the Glorious Alaouite Throne, guarantor of the unity and stability of the Kingdom.

This anniversary recalls the joyous 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 His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, baptized Moulay El Hassan, in tribute to the memory of His August grandfather, the late HM King Hassan II, may God have his soul in His holy mercy.

The celebration of the 20th birthday of HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan thus renews the immutable attachment of Moroccans to the Glorious Alaouite Throne through the oath of allegiance uniting them to HM the King, Commander of the Faithful, defender of the faith and guarantor of the supreme interests of the Nation and the citizens.
