Morocco is often considered one of the most beautiful countries in Northern Africa, rich with culture, history and awe-inspiring architecture. The country also generates a lot of global interest for being home to a royal family. The royal family is made up of king Muhammad VI, his wife Lala Salma and their two children crown prince Moulay Hassan and princess Lala Khadija. One day the prince Moulay Hassan will succeed his father as the next king of Morocco which isn’t new to royal family protocol with an estimated family net worth of roughly 5.7 billion dollars and prince Moulay worth 1.5 billion dollars. You can imagine these royals are living an extravagant lifestyle like many other global royals. The Moroccan Monarchy is however the second oldest after the British and thus have learned to live humbly. The 2nd youngest prince Moulay is not some spoiled little brat because his parents are insanely rich. While the prince is likely the richest. 

Moulay is also one of the most popular princes in the world. Likely due to his presence at many important global events. So let’s take a look at why the Moroccan prince is growing in popularity and where his fame and fortune could lead him in the future. On the 8th of May 2013 Hassan Ibn Mohammed Al-Alaoui was born or better known as prince Moulay. His birth was celebrated with a 21 gun salute dedicated to him which is something most of us dream of as a kid. Moulay often refused his elders to kiss on his hands during major worldwide events attended with his father. While it is usually a custom tradition in Moroccan culture to kiss the hand of someone older than you as a sign of respect. Moulay would pull away when the simple gesture was reversed on him. This was not out of disrespect but more than likely the Prince wanted to signify the humility which he continues to reflect as he gets older for a teenager. Most teens these days are tik-tok twerking so it's impressive the prince Moulay had the willpower to not follow the suit. The prince is aware of his royal responsibilities. Though his father is often present to help guide him in accordance with royal protocol. One moment that truly garnered prince Moulay’s  international acclaim and springboarded Moulay into the spotlight was back in 2017 when he was the youngest participant at the one planet summit held in France. The moderator of the summit emphasized how the presence of young Moulay was a strong signal for the young people to engage in defending the planet’s future. His father is highly regarded as someone who also focuses on such global issues and Moulay’s attendance at the climate change summit earned him a lot of  respect, admiration and lots of fans, especially many girls. In fact Moulay is so popular in his home nation that there was a 12000 seater football stadium in Rabat named after him Stade Moulay Hassan as well as a street circuit in Marrakech Circuit International Automobile Moulay Hassan. 

In 2017 Moulay personally welcomed Palestinian children on a visit to Morocco teaching them about Moroccan culture making him an excellent role model in the process. This only further enhanced Moulay’s popularity in the world. Being a royal you have to maintain some anonymity from the public eye and Prince Moulay just so happens to own one of the world’s most expensive VIP jets, the Gulfstream G50. It even has a personalized license plate that reads CN-AMH meaning ultis or in other words majesty. The 67.4 million dollars power plane is able to fly 14000 kilometers without any hassle and can seat 8 passengers and four crew members. It’s even fitted with a twenty million dollar missile defense system. Prince Moulay travels everywhere in his private jet which has helped him attend the funeral of Henri d’Orleans who was the Count of Paris and Duke of France. It’s no secret that the prince has a fondness of aircrafts while studying aviation, the first Moroccan royal to do so. His father studied law. Aside from taking some time to learn  to fly, the prince is also a polyglot who can fluently speak four languages with ease. Those are Spanish, English, French and his mother tongue Arabic. He studied from the Royal College situated inside the royal palace. It was founded back in 1942 as king Muhammad V was unable to send his son Hassan II to France to study due to World War II. 

The royal academy specializes in education for princes and princesses with the majority of Moroccan royals having studied there. Prince Moulay loves going on family holidays too. Back in Sep 2019, the prince went to New York with his little sister and mother. Two months prior to his New York trip he visited Skiathos, a Greek island. During his time there he rented a yacht called Serenity costing half a million rent a week. If a prince can speak four languages and fly a plane then he probably knows how to sail too. While the prince’s private life is far from the public eye. The times he has made his presence known were often to help promote his concerns about global issues such as climate change and the displacement of refugees. These iconic appearances have made prince Moulay not only popular around the world but also indicate that he could have a profound influence in the future with world leaders too. Hopefully he will use his fame and fortune to help create a better world.
