Princess Lalla Abla bint Tahar (5 September 1909 – 1 March 1992)[1] was the princess consort of Morocco from 1955 to 1961, the mother of King Hassan II (who reigned from 1961 to 1999) and the grandmother of King Mohammed VI
She was the daughter of Prince Moulay al-Tahar,[2] a son of Sultan Hassan I of Morocco and twin brother of Sultan Moulay Yusef.[2][3] She also has alleged Glaoua (Glawa) origins.[4] She allegedly was married in 1926 even though the Palace always denied, being only a seventeen-years-old, it would've been a minor, the royal official version tells the date as 1928.[3]
She married her first cousin Sultan Mohammed V of Morocco in 1926[2] or 1928.[4][5]
She had five children and survived them all:
Lalla Abla, the mother of King Hassan II, died on Sunday night after a long illness, the royal palace announced today... Lalla Abla was the wife of King Mohammed V, Hassan's father.
And when he was seventeen, his blessed father married him to the daughter of his twin, al-Mawla Tahir, and for his wedding in the southern capital, Marrakech, he received a celebration in which the manifestations of the king and the pomp of the sultan was evident, attended by all the notables of the Moroccan kingdom and its statesmen
