isis said:
concerning the article of EL MundoI don't find expensive the hotel’s expenses (for a prince) and as I already say it, that is with his money that the prince pays for his holidays
It is very evident that royals have lands/investments etc, which generates money; but plus to that the Moroccan prince/princesses get also a big monthly salary (thanks to their father who tought about that) even the prince/princesses do not have any official duties nor a job in the government.
"Telquel" magazine in Morocco wrote recently an article about the king/MRF salaries and said:
"Même s’il n’a rien de secret, le budget de la monarchie fait peur aux Marocains. Ni les médias, ni les députés (censés pourtant le discuter) n’osent encore s’y intéresser de trop près. Et pour cause : depuis l’indépendance, le tabou a été soigneusement cultivé."
Translated:
"Even nothing is secret, the budget of the monarchy scares to the Moroccans. Nor the media, nor the representatives (supposed nevertheless to discuss it) do interest of too near. And for causes: since the independence,
the taboo carefully was cultivated."

Ce chiffre mensuel de 2,2 millions de dirhams est affecté aux "listes civiles". Il faut relever le pluriel, car dans cette somme sont également englobés les salaires de Moulay Rachid, ainsi que des princes et princesses royaux proches. Lesquels? Et combien touche chacun et chacune ? Le budget de l’état ne donne pas de détails. On sait juste que Mohammed VI lui-même touche, en contrepartie de sa fonction de chef d’état, 395.916 dirhams par mois – ce qui reste relativement raisonnable, comparé aux hauts salaires des chefs d’entreprises publiques. Mais attention, la famille royale a des "à-côtés budgétaires", instaurés par feu Hassan II. Le budget de l'état prévoit en effet une pension et rente mensuelles de 1,8 million de dirhams. Ce montant englobe les pensions versées aux frères et sœurs du roi, lui compris. Sans oublier que Moulay Rachid et ses sœurs ont leurs propres listes civiles versées par l'état en contrepartie de leurs fonctions officielles. Selon quelle ventilation, le budget ne le dit pas. Mais un document interne du Palais datant de 1984, que nous avons pu nous procurer, atteste que l’ex-prince héritier Sidi Mohammed percevait un salaire mensuel de 15.000 dirhams, contre 30.000 dirhams pour Moulay Abdellah et 55.000 dirhams, à répartir entre les sœurs de Hassan II.

This monthly figure of 2,2 millions of dirhams is affected to the "civil lists". It is necessary to raise the plural one, for in this sum are equally included the salaries of Moulay Rachid, as well as princes and near royal princesses. Which these? And how much touches each and each? The budget of l’état does not give any details. One knows just that Mohammed VI himself touches, in compensation of his function of boss d’état, 395.916 dirhams a months – this that remains comparatively reasonable, compared to the high salaries of the bosses d’entreprises public. But attention, the royal family has of the "budget side issues", established by fire Hassan II. The budget of the state foresees in fact a pension and monthly revenues of 1,8 millions of dirhams. This amount includes the versed pensions to the brothers and sœurs of the king, understand for him. Without forgetting that Moulay Rachid and its sœurs have their clean civil lists versed by the state in compensation of their official functions. According to which ventilation, the budget does not say it. But an internal document of the Palace dateing back to 1984, that we were able to obtain ourselves, testifies that l’ex-prince heir Sidi Mohammed perceived a monthly salary of 15.000 dirhams, against 30.000 dirhams for Moulay Abdellah and 55.000 dirhams, to divide up between the sisters of Hassan II.
