Biography

[edit]

Lalla Hasna was born in the Royal Palace of Rabat. She was educated in this very city, at the Royal College where she obtained her High school diploma.[1]

Since her childhood, Princess Hasna has been interested in social and cultural activities, with special emphasis to environmental issues in Morocco. In 1999 she launched the national campaign for the protection of the environment and gave the prize for the most beautiful and cleanest beach in Morocco.

To shore up her work, the Mohammed VI Foundation for the protection of the environment was created in 2001 and chaired by Princess Hasna. She presides over the governing board of the foundation and regularly pays on the terrain visits to sensitize the population about environmental issues.

In 2002, Princess Lalla Hasna set up the prize of young reporters for the environment and in 2003 a prize for photography annually awarded on the international environment day.

She is Honorary President of the Hassanate Association for Human Development.[2]

Princess Lalla Hasna and Dr. Khalil Benharbit (born 1959), MD, a cardiologist, got married in Fez on September 8 and 9, 1994.[3][4] They have two daughters:[5]

  • Lalla Oumaima Benharbit (born 15 December 1995).
  • Lalla Oulaya Benharbit (born 20 October 1997).

Business

[edit]

Lalla Hasna is the owner of a shell corporation that bought her an 11 million US dollar house near Kensington Palace in central London. According to the Pandora Papers, Hasnaa used the capital of the Moroccan royal family when buying the property. In the papers for the deal she stated that her profession is “princess”. Questions that were sent to the palace after Le Desk became known have so far remained unanswered.[6][7]
