Prince Moulay Abdallah of Morocco

Biography

Prince Moulay Abdallah was born at Dar al-Makhzen in Rabat. Like his brother, the future Hassan II, he followed his education at the Royal College in Rabat, created for them in 1942 by their father. The exile of his family in 1953, first to Corsica and then Madagascar, made him change schools. His father and his family lived in Antsirabe and Moulay Abdallah was an intern at a religious college, Les pères jésuites de Saint-Michel. He did not bear boarding school for long, just like his sister Lalla Malika interned in another establishment, and very quickly left this establishment to take private lessons, his sister too. After his family returned from exile in Morocco on November 16, 1955, he returned to his former life and his country became independent on March 2, 1956. He continued his education at l'École des Roches, in Normandy, from the start of the September 1956 school year to obtain his baccalaureate. He left this establishment and enrolled in Paris at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand where he obtained his baccalaureate in 1958. Moulay Abdallah then pursued studies in law at Sorbonne University, and thereafter graduated with a bachelor degree in law in Switzerland.
