The wife of King Mohammed VI is currently in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia these days. Princess Lalla Salma arrived in the kingdom Saturday by Princess Adela Bint Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud’s invitation.
The Saudi princess is chairwoman for SANAD, which supports children with cancer. Since Lalla Salma is chairwoman of her own cancer association, it was natural for her Saudi counterpart to invite the Princess to Riyadh.
In fact, Lalla Salma donated some money to SANAD. This was met with some criticism since Morocco is not as wealthy as Saudi Arabia. Some royal watchers felt the Princess should not have made a donation in a country that is not as needy for funds as Morocco is.
On Monday, Lalla Salma continued with her visit to the Saudi Arabian capital. She toured the Saudi National Museum, the King Abdulaziz public Library, and the King Abdulaziz Foundation for Research and Archives.
General Manager of the museum, Abdullah bin Saud al-Saud, hailed Lalla Salma’s visit, which “is part of building strong ties of friendship and fraternity” between the two countries.
There are no photos yet of the Princess’ trip. If any come up, Royalty in the News would publish them.
The Swedish Royal Palace officially announced today the date when Crown Princess Victoria would wed her beau of seven years, gym owner Daniel Westling.
