Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has appointed his 22-year-old son, Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan, to a military coordination role. The prince will oversee offices and services within the military’s general staff, placing him at the center of strategic coordination. The move aims to strengthen institutional continuity and mirrors the King’s own path to leadership—his late father, King Hassan II, gave him a similar post in 1985. Over recent years, the Crown Prince has taken on increasing public and diplomatic responsibilities, representing Morocco at home and abroad. This appointment is widely seen as part of a broader transition strategy, intended to give the young prince hands-on experience in governance and defense. It underscores the monarchy’s long-term planning as the country prepares its future leadership framework.
