Moreover, the decision can be seen as an act of personal strength and confidence by Sultan Haitham. By sharing the national spotlight and formally recognizing the critical support provided by his family, he projects an image of secure and balanced leadership.

This portrayal resonates deeply with the conservative social values of Omani society, where the stability of the family unit is seen as foundational to the stability of the nation, thereby enhancing the legitimacy of the royal house itself.
