He gravitated to the highest spheres, in Monaco, from the time he was in a relationship with the lovely Charlotte Casiraghi (between 2011 and 2015), daughter of Princess Caroline, and niece of Prince Albert II, And Gad Elmaleh keeps a memory even stronger from his meeting with the King of Morocco. Proud of his Moroccan origins, the comedian had explained on the show “You can’t please everyone“, in 2006, hosted by Marc-Olivier Fogiel, why this visit remains one of his fondest memories.
He took his father to see the king of Morocco
Invited to perform in front of Hassan II, a few years earlier, at his debut, Gad Elmaleh had remembered on the set of France 315 years ago : “It was an incredible event because since we were kids in Morocco. It’s crazy this image you’ve had everywhere since you were the king’s kid“. About “Hassan II, the father of his majesty King Mohammed VI”, he then explained: “we tell you one day you will play in front of him”.

For this big day when he made jokes in front of the king, Gad Elmaleh had only one request. At the time, while the protocol had asked him what he needed, or what he would like, Gad Elmaleh had only one wish – adorable – that of taking his father. He would then have explained to the Palace teams: “the only gift i would like to give my father if you will is to take him to meet the king“.
A “very very strong memory”
This moment in his career and in his family life is a “very very strong memory”, still today. And the two men never forgot. Already in 2006, Gad Elmaleh confessed: “that too my father will remember all his life”assuming the title of “leader” of the family, whose success has brought to each of his own. “I like this picture“has indeed revealed the brother of Arie and Judith Elmaleh.
