Morocco has a lot of social/economic problems that she can help with, without invading here sisters in law territory. I guess she just doesn't know what to chose.

I think you misunderstood. No one expects or wants Lalla Salma to upstage her sisters in law or take over their causes. Like Layla27 said, Salma doesnt have to wait for the King's sisters to give up their charities. There is virtually an infinite number of causes she could support, international and Moroccan.

Gosh. I wish some of ou would give her time. I think that she is doing a great job so far as first lady primarily b/c she is being a wife and mom first and supporting her husband in his activities. When the time is right than she will take up more causes. Patience is a virtue...

Most "modern" women have both a professional life and a family life, and they do their best to manage the two at the same time.
I guess people are just expecting the same thing from princess lalla Salma. She became a princess three years ago, if I am not mistaken, and until now, the only thing she did was receiving official guests. Given the fact that she has hundreds of maids, nurses, and other kinds of helpful staff, it seems natural people expect her to be more active and more porductive.

[Reina]

Well I think it is just as good for her to be a wife to the king and a mom to the future king. I think it is ok for her to take her time. After all she could just be in a harem and no one would have to worry about her doing duties.

I don't know what Rosa think but it would be totally ridiculous. Do you really think it's the more important to do ? Moroccan people just have no money to buy a computer, so what do you think they have to care with new technologies.

Actually it's even not a problem of money or economic level of majority of people,but it's a problem of competence and adequacy,yes salma is an engineer and was a brillant student,but actually,in morocco ,the firms working on new technology are doing a good job,for example,the "maroctelecom" is the most important firm working in that field in whole arab world and middle east,and come second after the geant of south africa and first in the arab world,so i think new technology's workers in morocco are doing a good job,and are able to promote for them self,and don't need PL.salma's figuration.


I don't believe in the role of figuration of royals to promote something,if they are not involved really,and i don't like to be said that the work is done by them,like the many royal or first ladies especaially from middle east , when it's really done by other people behind :) !

Personally, there are two sectors that seem me very interesting:
1 - The improvement of the life of Moroccan peasantry, there is so much to make in the mountains and the countries, and some times very simples’ actions are sufficient to improve the everyday life of people

2 - The promotion of the Berber culture that is completely marginalized and folklorised in morocco (the actions undertaken by Moroccan state to rehabilitate this millennial culture in its rights are so insufficient that seven members of the royal institute of the Berber culture resigned to denounce the flagrant difference between the take care of the Arabian culture and the Berber culture)

Me, I think that this two sectors are very important, but I don’t know if salma has the same preoccupations

It is true indeed that HRH Princess Lalla Salma is a Professional and distinguished Engineer and that she could promote techonology within Morocco. However one must take care to preserve the Cultural integrity of the Arican Nation, and not do what her Arab Counterpart Queen Rania did in Jordan and try to errode the infrastructure of a cuntry that has existed for millenia and replace it with a perpandicular one. Thereby creating a country without an identity or individuality.

YES..she is a distinguished engineer graduating from one of the best engineering schools in the country.

[Reina]

Isn't this pretty much a man's area? I don't think a princess of a more a patriarchical society could get away with promoting that sort of thing.

Why would technology be a men's area ?!!!! There are thousands of female engineers, science teachers, and doctors in Morocco.

Just wanted to know - is Lalla Salma patron of any charities in Morocco or outside Morocco? Does she perform alot of official engagements in Morocco? I was just wondering. I know that for instance Queen Noor of Jordan helped tackle poverty in Jordan through micro finance projects thus helping poor women set up business's weaving etc. Queen Rania has tackled child abuse. What projects is Lalla Salma heading or helping? NOT THAT I'M SAYING THAT SHE DOES NOTHING!!!1

By the way i like her style i don't think it's necessarily old fashioned. She's human so occasionally she will make mistakes in terms of what she wears.


Thanks Khadijalove for the link - BRILLIANT!!!

I never heard that she support any association
about her style, I think lalla salma has a very bad tast, in addition to have a plain face and body, she hasn't any atractiveness
she must learned a lot about her sisters-in-law because at the moment she is the less interesting princess

[Reina]

I think you are quite mistaken about her looks. She has the clearest skin, beautifully shaped eyes, a perfect nose (I bet she did not have surgery), a long neck, etc. SHe is a unique beauty-not conventional prettiness like her sisters-in-law.

ALways the same question : always the same answer.
All charity fields are already patronized in Morocco (especially women rights and child rights by Lalla Meriem, why should Salma "stole" her) and also there are a lot of associations which make a good very job and they DON'T NEED a princess.

Yes Salma has activities but she's not photographed. That's the difference between WORK and PROPAGANDA.

are you sure for this information?
I hope that it is true, because I like a lot lalla salma but I find that (for the moment) she is too discreet for a first lady

personnaly, I think that she isn't pretty, except her eyes, her features aren't nice
she hasn't a pretty nose, and her neck is too massive, her lips hasn't a pretty shape, her forehead is too big and her line of jaw isn't fine
but she seems to have a happy character and this is the most important:)
