The Moroccan people and the Royal Family are celebrating on Friday the 23rd birthday of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, an occasion that reflects the strong bond between Moroccans and the Alaouite Throne, regarded as a symbol of the Kingdom’s unity and stability.

Born on May 8, 2003, at the Royal Palace in Rabat, the Crown Prince was named in tribute to his grandfather, the late King Hassan II.

The celebration also offers an opportunity for Moroccans to reaffirm their loyalty to HM King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful and guarantor of the nation’s unity and stability.

Over the past year, the Crown Prince has taken part in several major official and institutional activities, reflecting his growing public role within the Kingdom.

Last Saturday, HM King Mohammed VI appointed HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan as Coordinator of the Offices and Services of the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces.

On April 30, the Crown Prince chaired in Rabat the opening ceremony of the 31st edition of the International Publishing and Book Fair.

Earlier in April, and following Royal Instructions, HRH inaugurated the Mohammed VI Tower, which has become one of the new architectural landmarks symbolizing the development of Rabat and Salé.

The Crown Prince also presided over several major sporting events, including the opening ceremony of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Morocco, as well as the Rabat Grand Prix of the Longines Global Champions Tour.

In September, he chaired the opening of the El Jadida Horse Show and later presided over the awarding ceremony of the Grand Prix His Majesty King Mohammed VI for show jumping.

On the King’s instructions, HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan also inaugurated the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat after reconstruction works carried out in line with FIFA 2030 standards.

Throughout the year, the Crown Prince participated in several official, military and religious ceremonies alongside the Sovereign, including events related to the Royal Armed Forces and religious celebrations.

Through these activities, HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan continues to gradually assume greater national and institutional responsibilities, in keeping with Morocco’s traditions and the continuity of the Alaouite Throne.
