Casablanca - Voici un communiqué du Cabinet royal:

I'm really baffled by this expression. Which one do you think is the correct translation of the term?

Communiqué from the Royal court or a Statement by the Royal Office?

Hello
Went back and found an earlier statement entitled
Statement by THE Royal Office
So the site is inconsistent but like Ben, I prefer it "THE Royal Office"

agree  Ben Gaia: statement or press release by * the* Royal Office. @Tex:Press headline form, or an abbreviated/list form to leave out "the." It should be there.
1 min
  -> See added note. Indeed, the site is inconsistent so yes, "THE" should be used. Regards SafeTex
agree  philgoddard: There are plenty of other possible translations, and the website is not definitive, but this works fine.

a press release from the Palace/King


Explanation:
In Morrocco you would use "King", in the UK "Palace" means the Royal Office or Court so this would work for a UK audience.

I see this is from the Moroccan Press Agency, so the sensational, attention-grabbing headline version would be: LATEST FROM PALACE or ROYAL OFFICE NEWSFLASH if you wanted to add that sense of urgency. "New Message From King" would sit in the middle somewhere for variety. ma9a salaama

Communique from the Royal Court would sit just fine in a 1920s novel.

Example sentence(s):
  • Casablanca: Here is a press release from the Palace.

a royal office/royal court statement/press release


Explanation:
it depends on the context: if it is a decision of the king or something related to him then statement, as in giving royal orders.
if it is for the press like royal activities I.e then press release.
look at the links below yassine.
because we have الديوان الملكي in morocco, in English we say the royal court not office

in morocco we have two administrations:
cabinet royal/ديوان ملكي , that's royal court and we have
وزارة القصور الملكية والتشريفات والأوسمة/Ministère de la Maison Royale, du Protocole et de la Chancellerie.
