sorry but just like what I know meaning of lalla is lady and all daughters of kings and princes give them title of lalla before them names wich means lady,,, but sorry if you live in Morocco absolutely you have more information about lalla title much better than me

[Mademoiselle Lilo]

not only the daughter of the king and royal ladies sheikah deena all Moroccan ladies are called Lalla sign of respect. nowdays sure Lalla mean Lady but once upon time and as the studies mention Lalla meant Godess the Berbers in North Africa use to call their wises Lalla and once the arab and muslims arrive to the North Africa they respected this tradition and they even use it as the homogeneity with Berbers was the only way to govern.

The Alaouites themselves are not African descents, they are Arabs, but they used to have slaves from all ethnecities. They had also some African descent slaves in their Harems, and sometimes they gave them kids. The near example, is King's Hassan II's mother, Lalla Abla, she was an African descent slave offred by Pasha of Marrakesh Laglaoui to the King Mohamed V, and gave him his first male kid Moulay Hassan, "later became King Hassan II", and who is King Mohammed VI's father...So the actual king has some african blood from his grand-mother Lalla Abla.

Ps: The Harems don't exist anymore.

In the marriage thread someone posted that OmKathoum is now titled Lalla. If she is from the royal family why isn't she titled Lalla before marriage?

I don't know much but few years ago a decision has been made that Lalla,Sidi or Moulay should be concerved only for king children a close circle of family and of cours to who King decide to give it to,,and that was because of the mess created by alot of who used that title without been related to royal family or have noble origins.
Lalla Oum Kalthoum however didn't get the HH title?

[LeDerius]

I would love to see Lalla Salma elevated to the rank of Queen. I have noticed that she does not curtsy when among those with the style of Majesty, while she is a Royal Highness. In addition, she does appear to do all of the foreign visits on behalf of the Moroccan royal family.

[Countessmeout]

Morocco doesn't use the title queen for a consort of the king. AFAIK Salma is the first royal consort to have a public role. It was illegal to publish pictures of her MIL.

Salma doesn't bow because she is the Princess Consort of the head of state. Her HRH title is similar to the male consorts in Europe, Philip and Henrik.

In the marriage thread someone posted that OmKathoum is now titled Lalla. If she is from the royal family why isn't she titled Lalla before marriage?

Om is quite removed from the throne, her maternal grandmother was 1st cousins with her husband's grandfather. It is likely, if she had a title like her father did, she would have been sharifa.

Hi guys, I want to ask about Moulay Yazid son of Lalla Asmaa as I've seen him in Paris and I was so curious to ask about his activities/ Thanks in advance
