Latifa Amazoun, also known as Princess Lalla Latifa, is a prominent figure in the Kingdom of Morocco, born in 1946. She married His Majesty the late King Hassan II and became the mother of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, May God Assist Him, and His Royal Highnesses the Princes and Princesses.

Lalla Latifa Amahzoun grew up in an old and respected family and is of Amazigh descent. Her life was characterised by a commitment to traditional values and dedication to her country and her royal family.
