King Mohammed VI visits France

Photos of King Mohammed VI, showing him without crutches in a store in Paris, sparked a wave of comments on social networks. Many Moroccans were reassured to see the Sovereign in better shape, after having had a few health problems.

King Mohammed VI was seen on a crutch at the end of September, during the welcoming ceremony for French President Emmanuel Macron, who made a three-day state visit to Morocco. The monarch suffered from “muscle contraction in the back, on the right side, due to sciatica,” said a medical source.
