Did not know that lalla salma had a sister. I thought she was an only child.

[clymène]

No, she has a sister, and also something like three stepbrothers and sisters (but I don't think she really know them, she doesn't have a particular relationship with them), since her father remarried after salma's mother death.

I think it is sad that her father did not take her and her sister with him to his new marriage; instead leaving her with her grandmother. Why does she not have relationship with her step siblings??

Her sister looks a lot like PSalma, I just wonder if she gas green eyes, but I think she's not a red haired.

I would like to open a new thread about salma's family, to share info about thempersonally, for what I read, her father was a university professor in the superior school of fes, his name is abdelhamidshe has a sister, who is doctor (gastro-enterologue), in Ibn Sina hospital of Rabatshe has alos 3 half sisters, one of them is student in architecture in rabatsalma's mother name is naima bensouda, she was alos from fes, and she died in 1981, I don't know if she worked or no, but I know that she was a cousin of a king's friend, who studied with him in the royal college</p>

Salma's cousin is Noureddine Bensouda, now Directeur Général des Impots. They meet thanks to him.

yes, he is written in the book "the last king" of JP Tuquoi..... that when people of the Royal Palace knew what the book revealed (rumours on the intimate life of the king).....the King required of his close relations colleagues and entourages to introduce to him young women..... several young women were received by him (but by his colleagues in first steps)... among them Salma Bennani via her cousin (near to the King), Salma's family coming from the Moroccan upper middle classes (contrary to the generally accepted ideas) which formed already part of the entourage of the Royal Palace

The mistake come from the differences between her "2 families". Her mother's family comes from the upper middle class (doctor, pharmacist, ...) but her father's family comes from a "lower" middle class : her father is teacher but her grand-father was a blacksmith in Fez.

YES SHE DID among some other girls of the same medium had interviews exactly as for a job.
For a long time a minister daughter's was "favorie"=preferred (people said she was very beautiful) but finallly Salma Bennani was chosen

[Tami_T]

Salma doesn't come from upper middle class, she comes from a very modest family from lower middle class, her father is retired and was a teacher of a primary school in Fez,not of university!and she used to live in a very modest area in Rabat called "lakbibat" between "l'ocean" and "yakoubalmansour".

She met the king thanks to her brillant studies and was invited to the palace among many girls who made good studies and who have good career,from modest and wealty families.
