12-Year-Old Crown Prince Hates Royal Tradition of Hand Kissing

Prince Moulay Hassan

In America, a random stranger kissing a boy’s hand would be placed on the sex offender registry. But hand kissing is a tradition amongst royalty in Morocco and elsewhere around the world.

12-year-old Moroccan Crown Prince Moulay Hassan can do without the royal tradition of hand kissing. A hilarious video, originally published in 2013, shows the then 10-year-old prince snatching his hand away when men attempted to kiss it.

Prince Moulay Hassan

The boy who will be king attended to his official duties of greeting dignitaries who traditionally kiss the hand of royalty.

But the prince was so uncomfortable with the tradition that he snatched his hand away when a male dignitary bowed down to kiss it.

A few of the men were acutely aware that the prince was uncomfortable with the hand-kissing tradition, so they shook his hand instead.

Video from the event went viral, garnering nearly 2 million views on Youtube.com.

What would you do if your son was uncomfortable with men kissing his hand?

MotherOfDragons, GetOffMyENuts

This young man is dope for that. Too many kids accept hugs, kisses, etc…that make them uncomfortable because they are told it’s impolite to refuse. He said miss me with that, I will not have your nasty lips touching my royal hand ?????

??TupacsFemaleDoppelganger??

Too funny!! I feel him.. lol
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

Yes. He holds himself well. They have been training him since he could walk. I wonder how stressful that is on a kid so young to have to uphold such a title..Most little 12 year olds want to run, fart out loud, pick boogers and call out boobs when they see them.. LOL
Let Your Soul Glow

So you on your Charles Barkley now, huh? LOL!
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

I wonder what keeps him balanced. He is doing adult things so young..do they let him just be a kid at home or is his days spent cultivating him to be king and he miss out on being just a kid?
Too Many Colors

I luh this lil dude. Just seen other vid. ?

SunRiseBlossom

That is a great questions. You feel sad for kids that have to live a life that is forced or mandatory.
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

This does show he has some control over his actions, meaning they haven’t totally groom the kid out of him and allow his own individuality to come through. But I wonder if he got scolded for this and is seen as an embarrassment since custom is so big there.
jeniefrumdabloc™

That royal life is a different lifestyle from regular society ….. very different js
MotherOfDragons, GetOffMyENuts

You saw how the first one ALMOST got him because he grabbed his hand and held it but he twisted his arm so the kiss landed on his forearm? ???
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

Yes! I guess it comes with the territory of being born into that life but..2016 I think some customs and hard traditions need to be modified.
Too Many Colors

I liked em all. Even when I was a Rib. Shouts out to him.
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

I know. But don’t you wonder…the cost of such privilege? The weight on a kid so young. Im just wondering what things they have to balance him out. Kids have an innate drive to play, be curious, learn on their own, laugh when they want to etc. Its natural. Im just wondering. For me I see kids like that and I feel sorry for them honestly. I know he could buy and sell me and my kids life a 100 times over..but would I trade my childhood for his? No.

I ALWAYS speak to ppl, especially if they are staring or sneering at me. A woman ALWAYS speaks when she walks into (or out of ) a room. Costs you nothing. You might even brighten someone’s day.

JennyJazzhands

1. This is hilarious.
2. After he snatched his hand from the first guy, why did the rest of them keep trying to do it? Kudos to the dudes who gave a handshake and didn’t even try for the awkwardness.
?E?E?M?A

Children are groomed that way and truthfully don’t know any difference. Everything around them from birth is of a high standard. I went to a boarding school in VA called Madiera .. Very Elite. Also for the Black elite we have Jack and Jill of America
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

That makes a lot of sense thinking about it. If you grow up in it you know no difference.. Thanks. I guess i was looking at it from the outside in.

#RoyalRichFolksProblems. Smh.
YES I SAID IT…

That was too funny lil boy snatch that hand back real quick as to say nah man keep your kisses to yourself, lol! Well at least we know he ain’t a about that lifestyle!
Renee Bee

I can always tell your font. Always. Lol.
jussaying

Actually, he is taking his hand away as a form of humility. So he’s saying: That’s not necessary; I am your equal, not your superior.
Genia Gouch

I support this kid. LOL…

In America, a random stranger kissing a boy’s hand would be placed on the sex offender registry. But hand kissing is a tradition amongst royalty in Morocco and elsewhere around the world.

12-year-old Moroccan Crown Prince Moulay Hassan can do without the royal tradition of hand kissing………….
milkiecat

He’s a cutie!
Makes me wanna learn more about Europe’s Black Nobility… I think he’s the King now, but Albert of Monaco has a thing for Black women and has two half-black children. But being as that Europe is inherently racist and his sons are technically illegitimate, they’ll never ascend to the throne. His Australian swimmer wife tried to run away before their wedding– they took her passport so she couldn’t leave! Wonder if knowing she’d always be second in her hubby’s heart had anything to do with it.
eljjai

the arab world and its pedophiliac tendencies is what makes this lil boy uncomfortable. He probably knows just how these old men get down. And yes I know where Morocco is on the map, same culture though.
eljjai

oh, that puts a different spin on it…
