Asma Asad: Vogue took the title "Rose of the Desert" from the first lady, and the United Kingdom deprived her of citizenship

On the life of the first lady of Syria, Asma Assad, you can shoot a thrilling film, where there will be a place of love, admiration, admiration, hatred and envy. How could a native of London with an amazing education and a successful career become the first lady of Syria, get the title of "Rose of the Desert" and achieve comparisons with the British Lady Diana?

Asma Asad and her husband

Perfectly speaking several languages, Arabic, French, English and Spanish, well versed in literature and art, she began her career in an investment company and by the age of 25 won the trust of her colleagues and superiors. A brilliant start, if not the choice in favor of marriage and the role of the first lady of Syria.

Almost immediately after the wedding, Asma, along with her husband Bashar Assad, moved to Syria and took on the duties of the president's wife. For the first time, there was a chance to give the Eastern world a European perspective on development. Did the elegant lady prove herself?

Asma has been active in charity since 2000, supports educational initiatives and fights for women's rights. In parallel, she brings up three children and scrupulously refers to her wardrobe and image, for which she was singled out by fashionable critics of the Vogue tabloid in 2010. The article came out with the loud title "Rose of the Desert", it describes the love of the first lady to European values, brands and shows the best images at social events. What has changed?

Asma was worshiped with world magazines until 2011

Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, previously admiring the image of Assad, demanded the removal of articles about the first lady of Syria from the site and commented on her decision to the newspaper The New York Times as follows:

"Yes, our magazine wrote that Asma Assad is the most attractive of the first ladies of the East, but we must take into account her socio-political role in the state. The priorities and values ​​of the leaders of Syria now contradict European values, so we must take this fact into account in our work. "

Asma did not enter into polemics with journalists and world tabloids, steadfastly withstanding the destruction of publications in the fashionable gloss and magazines telling about her charitable work.

Deprivation of British citizenship

About deprivation of citizenship was spoken since 2017, but only now this question has approached to legal interchange. Asma Asad was accused of wastefulness, gave numerous evidence of breaking the law when buying luxury goods for the palace for 350 thousand dollars and accessories. For example, for shoes with crystal inlay was spent 7 thousand dollars!
