As I said once, most of the first ladies get the spot-light because of their husbands, otherwise we couldn’t hear of them. In the world, there are few of them who are very active. By active I mean a real work which has nothing to do with the propaganda or being guest of honour in different associations/organizations.
About Rania and money spending, I believe she isn’t the only Arab/ME/world first lady who lives that way. To me, she gets more attention than others because she has nice features, she is slim, and she chooses well her dresses which are all from well known designers. She gets also more attention because she belongs to a country where the majority of people are poor … and she doesn't hide her love to fashion/camera.
Again I believe she isn't the only first lady who behaves that way in the Arab/ME/world …
Why we are interested to know about rania hard work?
I ask this question because in democratic countries, citizens love to see their first ladies active but they don’t rely only on that in 100% … since all know that the real change & progress happen by the existence of laws and policies approved by the parliament/government/associations/etc with great transparency in their formulation and the governance structures under which they operate.
Unfortunately in many Arab/ME/world countries the situation is different.
And to me if a leader (man) couldn’t make real change in his country, then I don’t expect his wife will do something.
Personally, I don’t rely a lot on first lady work in a system which doesn’t fix/control the leaders salaries and where corruption finds great place.
In democratic countries, the queens/first ladies’ work has more meaning because beside what they do, there is democracy and transparency in their institutions that help/accomplish their work. And whatever they spend on jewel/fashion … we know all it’s within the fixed/controlled salary the government allowed them.
