The long-term impact of this conferment is the establishment of a precedent. Future Sultans will now have a framework for the public role of their consorts, expecting a level of visibility and engagement in national life that was previously absent. This institutionalizes the role of the First Lady (or Honourable Lady) as a permanent and valued component of the Omani royal structure, ensuring continuity in the patronage of social and humanitarian causes, thereby adding a robust, non-political layer to the governance of the nation that focuses purely on human welfare and cultural preservation. This shift makes the monarchy more relatable and responsive to the social needs of the population.
