    Dressed smartly in jacket and tie, the 12-year-old Moroccan prince Moulay Hassan looks the part as he carries out his royal engagements.

    But there is one caveat: he will not let any one kiss his hand.

    As these hilarious clips show, the Prince instantly pulls away his hand whenever dignitaries bend down to kiss it.

    12-year-old Prince Moulay Hassan is the current heir apparent to the Moroccan throne

    As the young Prince walks down a line of officials, he shakes each of their hands before sharply drawing it away whenever one bows down to kiss it, leaving the group somewhat perplexed.

    Hussan began appearing in public with his father at official engagements last year.

Well, one must do what it takes to take home rotis and dal ( or whatever the hell Maghrebi cuisine consists of ) for the whole family.. :). The kid might turn out to be either a benevolent king or a crazy megalomaniac....if he turns out to be the latter, this is another way of staying in his good books ;)
 
He refuses to let his hands kissed by the elderly as it is a sign of respect/humbleness. The dignitaries have to propose to kiss his hand, because it's protocol. They would get in trouble if they don't do it. Considering he's 12, he is probably told to act that way.
 
Hi,

I think he hates his hands to be touched by the old and ugly lips of other men---.
