Washington- Lalla Soukaina’s long-anticipated nuptials will take place on October 4th in Rabat, according to an exclusive report by le360.
Princess Lalla Soukaina, 27, spent her childhood as a very close grandchild to her grandfather– the late King Hassan II, who organized for her fairy parties, including for her birthday.
As highlighted by the daily Le Temps, Lalla is the only one of Hassan II’s grandchildren to receive the title of Princess, which “creates “a tremendous fascination with the Moroccans,” said the weekly magazine, says le Temps.
And her marriage is no less fascinating: “Everyone inserts their two cents,” says le Temps. “Some speak of a grand party hosted by international stars and big names in Arabic music where handpicked guests will attend, among them, the crowned heads of state… Others suggest the possibility of a family wedding party where only relatives and closest friends will be invited, “said the newspaper.
Princess Lalla Soukaina, King Mohammed VI’s niece, is engaged to Mehdi Regragui, son of late King Hassan II’s former adviser.
The Lalla Soukaina and Rereagui’s marriage is certain to be closely followed by the Moroccan people, as their romance was also closely observed. Both Regragui and Lalla Soukaina were raised in Rabat. Regragui comes from an affluent family, his father was a businessman and close adviser to King Hassan II.
Princess Soukaina first completed her undergraduate degree at the Royal College, and then moved to Paris to continue her studies and obtain a Master’s degree in journalism and communication. During her first year of studies in 2004, she was selected, along with her mother, Princess Lalla Meryem, as one of the top successful Arab women. She is regarded by Moroccans as the embodiment of Moroccan women’s beauty and elegance.
Princess Lalla Soukaina is the daughter of Princess Lalla Meryem, first daughter and eldest child of late King Hassan II.
The Princess’ father, Fouad Filali, is the son of the late Abdellatif Filai, former Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister.
