Casablanca - Having celebrated the marriage of Princess Lalla Soukaina, the daughter of King Mohammed VI’s sister Princess Lalla Meryem in 2013, the royal family is now celebrating the marriage of Prince Moulay Rachid with Ms. Boufarès, who is the daughter of a former governor of Marrakech, Moulay Mamoum Boufarès.
The Moroccan daily Annas reported in its Monday edition that Morocco’s Southern Pearl, Marrakech, is preparing to host the wedding celebration of Prince Moulay Rachid. But the date of the event has not yet been announced by any official sources.
Numerous Moroccan news outlets reported on the ceremony, and photos of Prince Moulay Rachid’s new bride, surrounded by the royal family all attired in splendid traditional Moroccan dress, are going viral on Moroccan social media.
Mohammed VI presided over the ceremony concluding the act sealing the marriage of his younger brother Prince Moulay Rachid to Umm Kulthum Boufarès on Sunday, June 15, 2014 at the Royal Palace in Rabat.
Ms. Boufarès’ father, Moulay Mamoum Boufarès, is the son of Princess Lalla Khadija, daughter of Sultan Moulay Youssef, who is the father of the late king Mohammed V, the grandfather of King Mohammed VI. Moulay Mamoum Boufarès retired in 2009.
