Morocco’s royal family, led by Africa’s wealthiest King Mohammed VI, has decided to sell several high-end Paris properties that once belonged to his late mother, Princess Lalla Latifa.
This move is rare and comes as part of a careful post-succession reorganisation of the family’s private assets.
What’s being sold
The sale includes three upscale properties in and around Paris that were part of Princess Lalla Latifa’s real estate holdings. Together, the homes are listed for about $35 million.
Why this matters
This is notable not just because of the high price tag, but because such overseas sales by the Moroccan royal family don’t happen often.
Observers say the decision reflects a broader effort to reorganise family wealth in a way that aligns with current priorities and succession plans.

Context on the properties
According to additional reporting from Spanish-language media, the portfolio includes two luxury mansions in Neuilly-sur-Seine — one of Paris’s most prestigious residential neighbourhoods and a high-end apartment in Courbevoie, near La Défense, the city’s major business district.
These homes were part of the estate of Lalla Latifa Amahzoune, who passed away in June 2024.
El Independiente
The Neuilly-sur-Seine mansions sit in a diplomatic and affluent enclave, including one property with sweeping views toward the Bois de Boulogne and locations close to various embassies.
The third property is an apartment likely used historically to house staff or serve as part of the family’s extended residential footprint near Paris.

What sources are saying
Journalistic reports note that King Mohammed VI formally renounced personal inheritance of these properties, leaving them to his siblings and other heirs, who are managing the sale.
Some analysts suggest this signals a subtle shift in how the royal family wants its wealth perceived internationally, as scrutiny of elite assets grows.
