The life of Lalla Latifa, mother of King Mohammed VI and widow of late King Hassan II, was marked by her noble lineage and discreet presence within Morocco's royal family.
Throughout the years, several people pretended to be part of the Moroccan royal family. While Bou Hmara pretended to be the eldest son of sultan Hassan I, Serge-Michel Bena, Hicham Mandari and an Israeli woman claimed to be «connected» to the late king Hassan II.
