Moulay Hassan was born at the Royal Palace of Rabat to King Mohammed VI and Princess Lalla Salma. He was named after his grandfather, the late King Hassan II. The oldest child of the current king, he has a sister, Princess Lalla Khadija.[3]

Hassan pursued his primary, middle and high school education at the Royal College of Rabat. He is a polyglot who speaks several languages aside from his native Arabic, including English, French and Spanish.[4] He has the rank of Colonel of the Royal Guard,[5][6] Colonel of the Royal Army[7] and Colonel of the Royal Air Force.[8]

In 2014, aged ten, his father gifted him a luxury car, which became his first car registered in his name.[9] Concerning his hobbies, Moulay Hassan loves football and basketball.[10] He played football at the training center of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) of Maamoura, in Rabat, with several children of soldiers. He also practices horse riding, his father Mohammed VI having personally followed his training programs.[10] In November 2016, in a report entitled "Private lesson" dedicated to their father-son duo, Paris Match described Moulay El Hassan as "a son who listens to his father's advice".[10] In 2018, in his capacity as crown prince, a Gulfstream G650 private jet newly acquired by the FAR was allocated to him.[11] He loves basketball, and was eager to participate in his university club competition despite the COVID-19 pandemic.[12][13]

He obtained his high school diploma from the Royal College in 2020 and joined the Faculty of Governance and Economic and Social Sciences (FGSES) Al-Hakama in Sala Al Jadida, an affiliate of the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Ben Guerir (UM6P) for the 2020–2021 school year.[14][15] He chose to major in international relations.[16]
