How beautiful is Princess Lara Salma of Morocco?
Muhammad, who was still crown prince at the time, only looked at her and fell deeply. In order to win the hearts of the beauties, muhammad, who succeeded to the throne, even let all the concubines in his father's harem move out of the palace, vowing to cut off polygamy.
In terms of appearance and temperament, Salma is easily reminiscent of another woman: Princess Diana.
In fact, there are too many similarities between Salma and Diana:
They are all breathtakingly beautiful.
None of them came from enough prominence and lacked maternal love from an early age: Diana's parents divorced, and Salma lost her mother at the age of 3.
They are all passionate about public welfare: Diana visits AIDS patients and advocates for anti-landmine campaigns; Salma is a World Health Organization Goodwill Ambassador who works to stop the spread of AIDS in Africa and has founded a foundation to fight cancer.
Even their marriage had a surprising coincidence: a fairytale dream wedding that then parted ways 15 years later.
The only difference is that after the divorce, Diana continued to be high-profile, and died in a car accident with her new boyfriend a year later; Salma quickly disappeared from public view after the marriage, so that too many people worried about her safety.
So, in the 5 years since the marriage, has Salma been doing well?
Salma was born in 1978, the family is ordinary, because she lost her mother at an early age, all thanks to her grandmother to pull her up.
From an early age, Salma was called "someone else's child" by her parents, not only beautiful, but also upright and kind, and her academic performance has always been very good.
When she went to college, Salma studied computer science, and after graduation, she successfully joined morocco's largest private company, north African investment group, and became an information systems engineer.
In 1999, 21-year-old Salma met Prince Mohammed at a banquet.
At that time, Muhammad was 36 years old, single and rich, and the future king, the ideal man who could not be expected in the hearts of countless women.
However, when Muhammad fell in love with Salma at first sight and launched a love offensive, Salma behaved unusually calmly.
She knew that once she entered the houmen, she was as deep as the sea, and after marrying into the royal family, although the glory and wealth were at her fingertips, the price was to lose her freedom and share her husband with other women.
In short, it wasn't the love Salma imagined.
So, after some consideration, she rejected the prince's marriage proposal.
It was also during that time that the old King Hassan died and Muhammad became the new King of Morocco.
Muhammad VI, who had just ascended to the throne, was full of spirits, but there was still a great regret in his heart, because of the woman he had begged for fruitlessly.
Thinking about it, Muhammad decided to impress Salma with greater sincerity.
He proclaimed monogamy, promising not to marry another woman during marriage; promising salma the title of royal family so that she would have the same status as the king's sisters; and granting her the right to appear after marriage and not be imprisoned by various royal traditions...
Faced with this series of concessions from Muhammad, Salma no longer had any reason to refuse. Why didn't she love this enlightened and erudite king in her heart?
On 12 July 2002, Muhammad held a three-day wedding celebration for Salma, and 300 lucky newlyweds from all over the country were selected and held a grand group wedding with the king.
On the day of the wedding, Salma was crowned "Princess Lara Salma", becoming the first wife of a king in Moroccan history to be canonized.
After marriage, Salma gave birth to a son and a daughter for the king, and the two little ones inherited their mother's good genes and gave birth to very beautiful children.
At the same time, Muhammad fulfilled his promise and gave Salma great freedom.
Shortly after her marriage, Salma appeared at the Marrakesh Film Festival in Morocco, with her iconic red hair showing grace and luxury.
Since then, Salma has appeared frequently in public as "First Lady," attending the weddings of Prince William and Kate, and receiving Michelle Obama's visit to Morocco.
No matter which queen and first lady stood with, Salma's radiance was no less than that, and her elegant temperament became a business card of Morocco.
Everything was played out like a fairy tale until 2017.
Since the second half of 2017, Salma has disappeared from public view without warning, and what is even more mysterious is that the Moroccan media has hardly reported on it.
Especially in 2018, Mohammed underwent heart surgery in Paris, France, and in the group photo released by the royal family after the operation, most of the royal family members gathered in front of the hospital bed, except for Salma.
Where did Princess Salma go? What is her current situation?
Soon, the above questions were raised by the international media.
Finally, in April 2019, someone photographed Salma having dinner with her daughter at a restaurant in the southwestern Moroccan city of Marrakech.
A few days later, another Dutch media reported that Salma had made an informal visit to an oncology centre in Beni Meral.
In July of the same year, some claimed to have seen Salma and her eldest son on vacation in Greece.
Also this month, Mohammed's lawyer used the term "the king's ex-wife" in a public reference to Salma, which was tantamount to indirectly acknowledging the fact that the king and his wife were divorced.
In September 2019, Salma and her two children were photographed appearing in Central Park in New York.
Since then, Salma has disappeared from the world again, and has not been heard from for nearly two years.
As for the reasons for Salma's divorce, the Moroccan royal family has never responded positively.
It is rumored that salma left the palace not because of the breakdown of her relationship with her husband, but because of the king's helplessness for the purpose of protection.
The reason is simple, as a woman, Salma enjoys too many privileges in the royal family that other women do not have. As the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and within the palace, many female relatives, including the king's three relatives and sisters, have a lot of criticism of Salma.
Around 2018, Muhammad had heart problems and was worried that he did not have much time and could not continue to protect his beloved wife, so he came up with this method.
In the author's opinion, this statement is not unlikely. After all, in more than ten years of marriage, the couple has never been incompatible, and the king has never had a lace scandal.
That is to say, the reason for the marriage change is most likely not the breakdown of feelings, but another reason.
In any case, even if the king changes his heart, Salma still has two children in the royal family, and the eldest son Hassan will inherit the throne in the future.
I believe that as long as Prince Hassan is present, Salma will not be wronged.
Maybe one day in the future, Salma will return to the spotlight, after all, she is the mother of the future king of Morocco.
