Biography
Princess Lalla Abla bint Tahar (5 September 1909 - 1 March 1992) was the second wife of Mohammed V of Morocco.
She was the daughter of Moulay Mohammed al-Tahar bin Hassan. Her father was a son of Sultan Hassan I of Morocco, and the chauffeur of Thami El Glaoui, Pasha of Marrakesh.
She married her first cousin Sultan Mohammed V of Morocco in 1929. Her elder sister Princess Lalla Hania bint Tahar married Sultan Mohammed Ben Aarafa of Morocco.
She had five children:
- Hassan II (9 July 1929 - 23 July 1999).
- Lalla Aicha (17 June 1931 - 4 September 2011).
- Lalla Malika (born 14 March 1933).
- Moulay Abdallah (30 July 1935 - 20 December 1983).
