King Mohammed VI of Morocco has sent a message of condolences and compassion to Claude Chirac following the death of her mother, Bernadette Chirac, on June 7, 2026. The sovereign expressed deep emotion upon learning of the passing of Bernadette Chirac, the former First Lady of France.
In his message, the King conveyed his heartfelt sympathy to Claude Chirac and the entire Chirac family, recalling the late Bernadette Chirac's dedication to public service and her charitable work, particularly through the Fondation Claude Pompidou.
Bernadette Chirac, widow of former French President Jacques Chirac, died at the age of 92. She was known for her role as First Lady from 1995 to 2007 and her commitment to social causes, including support for the elderly and children with disabilities.
The King's gesture underscores the longstanding ties between Morocco and France, as well as the personal relationship between the Moroccan royal family and the Chirac family.
