Just recently Rania sent pictures of her to AFP, Yahoo, Getty images.*

This is a common practice actually, Asma among high profile individuals. It is not for personal exposure but to provide and share information about the event which in this case was a conference on Women and Law attended by the Queen and Cherie Blair.

It is not a common practice in Royal society. In fact, I am not aware of any other Royal Family to do so. The pictures from royal families are only handed on rare occasions like birth, weddings. When you check Getty Images you will find that conference on Women and Law was not the only case. Many (if not majority) of photos of Rania are handouts from Royal Palace and even Rania’s office. This is very cheap way to promote or to share the info (if we can call photo the source of info). We don’t see that in Morocco Royal family. They don’t waste their time sending photos all over the world and yet, we are aware of their work. Why? Because every reasonable person can see the results. As for sending photos to agency like Getty Images, it just shows how desperate Rania is for the attention of western agencies.
