The childhood life of Princess Hadija
In February 2007, a baby girl was born in the Moroccan royal palace, Princess Hadija, the sister of Crown Prince Hassan and the second child of King Mohammed VI and Princess Salma.
Hadija in the cradle did not know that she would have unimaginable glory and power for the rest of her life. As soon as she opened her eyes and looked at the world, hundreds of loving eyes were watching her, waiting to pamper her.
The palace has long been prepared for the arrival of a new life, and everything revolves around this little princess. She slept in a soft silk futon, and her room was decorated in gold, close to her mother's bedchamber, so that she always felt at home.
Hadija grew up under the care of her parents, she had silky red hair, crystal skin, and big eyes full of innocence and curiosity. Muhammad VI simply regarded her as a pearl in his palm, for fear that she would be wronged a little.
Whenever Hadija toddled from the fairy tales, her father would be excited like a child, lift her high above her head and turn in circles, and then hold her tightly in his arms. The queen mother, Salma, also poured all her maternal love into her, personally combing her hair and kissing her forehead.
The elder brother, Prince Hassan, is even more protective of his sister. As soon as Hadija learned to walk, Hassan took her little hand and walked slowly around the palace, for fear that she would fall if she was not careful.
Pampering made little Hadija extremely happy.
Under the care of the royal family, Hadija spent a carefree childhood. She is like living in a warm "honey pot", surrounded by the love of her family, and she does not know the ups and downs of the outside world.
For her, the small palace is her world. She could play in the palace garden and watch the flowers bloom that she couldn't name. She could run back and forth in a pony carriage down the corridor, as if she were leading an army.
This is the proud and happy childhood of Princess Hadija, and what a young princess needs most is the unreserved love from her family. And she has more than anyone else.
The unknown "disappearance" of the queen Salma
However, Hadija's happy childhood did not last long. In 2017, a far-reaching event shattered the peace of the royal family.
That year, Princess Salma suddenly disappeared from the world and completely disappeared from the palace and public eye. Everyone was amazed, and without warning, the princess, who was loved by the king and the people, left silently.
At first, the royal family was silent about Salma's whereabouts and avoided answering questions from the outside world. The king fell into deep grief, and all public events were canceled.
Little Hadija was even more heartbroken, she lost her mother's care, and she cried all day long.
Subsequently, there were rumors that Salma had divorced the king, but the royal family never confirmed it. One can only speculate on this outcome from various indications. In 2018, when Mohammed VI had heart surgery, Salma was no longer in the family photo.
After that, the royal family began to refer to Salma as "the king's ex-wife", as if to indicate that she was no longer a member of the royal family. As for her sudden departure, everyone can only speculate about the struggle within the royal family, but the truth is a mystery after all.
For Hadija, who was still an infant, her mother's disappearance was like a bolt from the blue. She was still a child who needed her mother's love and care, but she lost her mother's care overnight.
For the first few months, Hadija spent her days crying and searching for her mother, but Salma was nowhere to be found. She innocently asked the maid, "Where is my mother, and doesn't she want me?" Everyone's heart was cut when they heard it.
Hadija began to avoid her father, consciously or unconsciously, because in her eyes, her father was also responsible for not protecting her mother. Gradually, this lively and cheerful little princess became more and more reticent.
The disappearance of her mother has caused great trauma to the young Hadija. Her father and brother did their best to heal her, but it would take a long time for the wound to truly recover.
Hadija was forced to disappear from public view
The disappearance of her mother had a profound impact on Hadija, who not only lost her mother's love, but also changed her public life.
After Salma's disappearance, Hadija appeared in public less and less. At first, she would attend some important occasions with her father, but the whole person seemed lonely and melancholy.
She is no longer the cheerful little princess she used to be, and her smile is so immature and bright.
Gradually, Hadija gradually withdrew from public view and no longer made any public appearances. Many people found that they had not seen the little princess in the media for a long time.
Until 2019, Hadija was last seen in public as a princess. It was on her 12th birthday, and the royal family held a simple birthday party for her.
Wearing a lilac gown, Hadija looked a little cramped, no longer happily interacting with the people as before.
After that, Hadija literally disappeared from public view. She no longer appears at any public events, and her figure cannot be captured by the cameras of all the people.
From the age of 12 to 16, in the intervening 4 years, except for the royal family, almost no one saw Hadija.
Perhaps, the royal family wants to keep Hadija away from the public eye and not be paid too much attention, so that she can grow up with peace of mind. Perhaps, it is also to avoid Hadija being drawn into the internal struggle of the royal family.
All kinds of speculation filled the public discussion.
For Hadija himself, this is undoubtedly another torture. She has lost her mother and is now unable to interact with people as much as she used to. She longs for sunshine, but is forced to live in solitude.
What Hadija experienced inside during this period is difficult for outsiders to know. She was still so young, but she had to endure these changes. We can only hope that the royal family will do their best to heal the wounds in her heart.
Analyze the reason why Hadija was "hidden".
Regarding the reasons why Hadija was forced to disappear from public view for almost four years, we can analyze it in combination with the national situation of Morocco:
First of all, it is likely that the royal family did this to protect Hadija to the greatest extent. The Moroccan royal family is divided into complex factions, and the two young royal family members, Prince Hassan and Hadija, can easily become the focus of contention between various parties.
Keeping Hadija out of the public eye would reduce the likelihood of her being drawn into a royal fight. She is still so old and needs a stable environment to grow up in a stable environment, free from the influence of court strife.
Second, excessive public attention may also have had a negative impact on Hadija's growth. Teenage children need space to build themselves, not be in the public spotlight.
Doing so for the royal family would allow Hadija to have more private time and not be bound by public expectations.
In addition, the traditional culture of the low status of women in Morocco is also a partly reason. The royal family and the public pay far less attention to female members than men, which is common in countries that emphasize male power.
Hadijah is unlikely to be as high-profile as his older brother Hassan.
Finally, father's love is also one of the motivations. King Mohammed VI loved his daughter deeply and wanted her to stay away from right and wrong. Even if she disappears temporarily, he will not hesitate, because he can protect her with royal power.
A combination of reasons ultimately led to this decision. We can understand a father's intentions, but at the same time we feel sorry for Hadija to endure this at such a young age. May her heart be strong enough to understand her father's good intentions.
Despite all the speculation from the outside world, the reason why Hadija was "hidden" may only be understood by the royal family itself. What we can do is to respect their choice and hope that Hadija will grow up safely and happily.
Hadija sees the light of day again
In July 2022, a surprise appeared in the Moroccan royal family.
On this day, the royal family held a grand procession, and tens of thousands of people poured into the capital to watch the ceremony.
After not being seen in public for four years, Hadija reappeared in front of people. She has grown up, with a beautiful face, bright red lips, big eyes that are not shocked, and a noble and cold temperament full of charm.
This scene made everyone boil, and the camera was tightly focused on Hadija's every move. She waved politely to the crowd, always with an indifferent smile on her face, and her gestures were graceful and calm.
Hadija's reappearance proves that she has been living under the care of the royal family all these years, and has not had the accidents that the outside world speculated. The interaction of the royal family members also shows that they are close and full of deep family affection.
For Hadija herself, this re-discovery must have been exciting. After four years of seclusion, she has been looking forward to feeling the sun again. Although I can't laugh freely, I secretly rejoice in my heart.
She snuggled up to her father and brother, a happy expression on her face. The moment she had been waiting for for had finally arrived, and she was back to the life she was supposed to have.
Hadija's safe return brought joy to the royal family and the people. We are also very happy for her. This indicates that she is no longer a young child who needs to be protected, but a mature princess who can meet the world.
It is expected that Princess Hadija can show her style and become the pride of the royal family and the country. Her life has just begun, and the journey ahead is sure to be full of surprises and glory.
epilogue
Princess Hadija's life story reflects the complex side of the Moroccan royal family and the country.
She was born in prosperity and wealth, but lost her mother at an early age and had to live in seclusion for many years. This not only shows the deep family warmth she has received, but also reflects the helplessness of royal traditions.
Hadija was so fortunate to have the unreserved love of the king's father for his daughter, and the affectionate care of his brother for his sister. This love made her carefree childhood.
But the disappearance of her mother also left her with great trauma and had to bear a heavy blow in her young heart. In order to protect her growth, she had to live in seclusion for many years, which is also an injustice to a child.
In the midst of the contradiction between tradition and change, Hadija's encounter became a microcosm of the country. We are moved by her extraordinary fate and look forward to the progress of this country.
Now that Hadija is back in the public eye, everything she goes through will be the force that shapes her. May she, like her mother, Salma, be a model of confident, intelligent and charismatic women in this country.
We hope that Princess Hadija can show her style, no matter what fate brings, she can face it strongly, and become the pride of the people.
Her life has just begun, and there are endless possibilities waiting for her. We sincerely wish Princess Hadija all the best and happiness.
