Dear Joye you have nothing to apologize for. Here's some clarification on moroccan royal ladies names and titles: the name of the lady is Soukaīna, Sharifa is an Arabic title meaning the lady is of noble origin, usually a descendent of the Holy Prophet; Lalla is a title of respect (it literally means Lady). All the other ladies in the royal family are also styled Lalla. We have equivalents in other countries: Portugal - Senhora Dona Isabel of Braganza, Spain - Reina Doņa Sofia, France - Madame la Countess de Paris.

This tiara was also : worn by Tessa (or her sister...I cant : remember now) at the greek royal wedding of : their cousin Juan Carlos. : : : : --Previous Message-- : : Is it Princess Lalla Hasna of Morocco? : --Previous Message-- : I did some searching and found the 1st bride : is Lalla of Morocco - the 2nd is Mirta : Marques de Bavaria de Castro. : I cannot find to which family she belongs : but there is a Spanish connection. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : I have the same question, Joye.
