This is confirmed to us by an authorized source. Contrary to the rumors that may have circulated today, no cancellation of events, particularly cultural, artistic or sporting, has been decided following the death, this Saturday, June 29, of Princess Lalla Latifa, mother of King Mohammed VI. The ongoing or planned events are therefore maintained.
Events such as the Gnaouas and World Music Festival in Essaouira or the Mawazine Rythmes du Monde festival in Rabat are therefore continuing without any changes. The same is true for the sporting events scheduled for the coming days. Our source also points out that the authorities have not (at least for the time being) declared national mourning.
Let us recall that the spokesperson of the Royal Palace announced, with immense sadness and deep affliction, the death, this Saturday, June 29, 2024, of Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Latifa, wife of the late King Hassan II and mother of King Mohammed VI.
“In announcing this painful loss, we pray to the Almighty to surround the late deceased with His infinite mercy, divine clemency and to welcome her into His vast paradise, to grant long life to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God preserve Him and perpetuate His glory. We belong to God and to Him we return,” said the spokesperson for the Royal Palace.
