it is so strange of one coast the queen so simple and on the other salma dressed like to go to a pomp dinner

maybe you didn't see the pictures on TV, but at the dinner salma didn't stop looking at the camera, I think that she was more concentrated on her own person that on the queen sofia and the purpose of the queen's travel

Yes, the dress of the day was ok. But for the dinner, the silver and the big earrings were too much compare to what other ladies wear.
I believe the choice of an evening (day) dress is based on the evaluation of the event … and to me salma choice seems like an over-estimation of the event ... or maybe it’s that way she wants to be, different from others.

About shyness ... it will go by experience and practice. Many politicians/CEO subscribe in theatre clubs to develop communication skills, confidence and how to deal with others.
Anyway, it's not dramatic but it depends on the person … if he/she wants to change to the best.

Concerning the takchita that lalla salma wears for the dinner, it is the first time that lalla salma receives alone a first lady, for her, this dinner is therefore very important (for the queen sofia it is surely a minor event that is for it that she is dressed simply)



I agree with you, concerning the shyness, there are shy people who make excellent work and outgoing people who don't make anything

Personally, I think that lalla salma is shy, but it doesn't have any importance, the essential is that she makes her best

I think also that the princess is very young and has a lot of things to learn, but we can’t ask her for impossible, we would like all to see her more active, but it doesn't depend on her but of the protocol that seems even chilly when to the role of the king's wife

when to say that salma plays a role in the reinforcement of the relations between the spain and morocco, I don't see on what that is basis
what salma do is the minimum that a first lady must do, to welcome a first lady who comes in her country
in all countries that the queen sofia visited, she is welcomed with a big smile, and queen sofia is always very agreeable with all those that she meets, not only with salma
queen sofia is a cordial woman that is in her nature

I agree with you on this point, as much I find unjust to criticize lalla salma for her inactivity, as much I find that to say that she participates in the reinforcement of the relations between morocco and spain is very exagerrated

a question for all: do you think lalla salma has a beautiful body or no?
and why?

I see your point loubna2 and rosa.
In one way, I agree that the real reinforcement of the relations between Morocco and Spain takes place at many levels: diplomacy, politics, economy, collaboration between politicians, associations of both countries, etc.

In another way, as I said, salma does only "her part" and contribution.
For example, I think it nice when the Spanish first lady is welcomed in Morocco ... and twice within a month.

I read that the Spanish royals’ last visit to Morocco dated more than 20 years ago (if I remember well).
Such lot of years and neighbour royals didn't make a visit to Morocco; it does explain tensions between the two countries/governments in the past.

So, since both countries are looking for a new era and want to renew historical links, so salma welcoming the Spanish queen is just a contribution to all what was put in place by diplomacy.

I understood your explanation abir and I agree, the most important work is do by others, lalla salma do what she can for maintain good personal relations with queen sofia

I don't like her way to stand up on this photo, lalla salma is slender then I think she can wear less high shoes, what do you think?

at present, one of the cannons of beauty is to be tall, what makes that short women like lalla salma are obligate to wear very high heels (I believe that on this photo, her heels at least are 10cm), the majority of the time lalla salma stand up elegantly, some times as here, she separates a little her legs to be comfortabel, it is not dramatic
