Despite their separation, the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, continues to watch over his ex-wife Lalla Salma. The latter was recently seen in Tangier, in the presence of elements of the royal security.
The name of Princess Lalla Salma, now ex-wife of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, has returned to the heart of the news. This August 21, 2023, a very special day chosen by the Spanish newspaper Vanitatis, to give news of the princess who is very rare. This Monday being the birthday date of the Moroccan king, who has decided not to celebrate it anymore, for four years already.
It has been five long years since the mother of Prince Moulay El Hassan and Princess Lalla Khadija retired from palace affairs. Apart from a few appearances, notably at the oncology center run by the foundation that bears her name, where in Greece for holidays, Salma Bennani has become very rare since her divorce from the Moroccan sovereign. An absence that has fueled the craziest rumors.
Crazy rumors around Lalla Salma
The media have, in fact, evoked a “sequestration” of which the former First Lady of Morocco would have been the victim. While others went much further, announcing the death of Lalla Salma, who was “murdered” by one of her sisters-in-law. Newspapers have taken the liberty of linking the “death of Lalla Salma” to the hospitalization of Mohammed VI, who, during the altercation, allegedly received a “bullet in the foot”.
Information distilled on the Web, in the absence of official news given by the Royal Palace. Indeed, to date, no communication has been made on the marital status of King Mohammed VI. Even less that of Lalla Salma. Only the reorganization around the affairs of the Palace makes it clear that Lalla Salma is no longer in her place. Since now, it is his sister-in-law, Lalla Meryem, who plays the role of First Lady of Morocco.
Lalla Salma spotted in Tangier
The absence of Lalla Salma is so noticed that her appearance is significant information. And in his post on Monday, Vanitatis reveals that the ex-wife of Mohammed VI was recently seen in Tangier. The newspaper specifies that Lalla Salma was doing a tour in a posh shop. In these places are marketed the latest trends related to fashion and decoration.
Only, before the arrival of the princess in the store, members of the security had taken over the premises. Proof that the royal palace continues to watch over the former First Lady. A security device that recalls the holidays spent by Lalla Salma in Greece, in July 2019. While she was accompanied by her son, the crown prince, Moulay El Hassan. Lalla Khadija having remained in the kingdom, alongside her father.
