The stories of the first lady, who show that every woman has secrets

All women have their little secrets and weaknesses. But they are especially difficult to hide if your step is followed not only by the whole country, but also by the world media. It turns out that even the first ladies of the world have secrets that are better concealed from the public.

Jacqueline Kennedy (USA)

Back in those days when Kennedy was president, in America there were many smoking women. Nevertheless, the society did not approve of such a choice. That is why Jacqueline Kennedy's passion for smoking was carefully concealed. Even those photographers who were closely associated with the White House were strictly forbidden to take pictures of the first lady with a "nicotine stick" between her fingers.

Princess Diana (England)

Many are used to think that Princess Diana - the first wife of Charles, the Prince of Wales - was the very perfection. Only a few people knew that this beautiful woman had serious problems with the perception of her body. She had bulimia, which has since become known as the "secret princess disease" and "Diana effect."

Mary Todd Lincoln (USA)

Mary resembled a wealthy family and had no idea how people who do not have enough money live. She was happy to spend money on repairing the White House and buying luxurious outfits. It all ended up because she could not control her expenses, and this led to a grand scandal: it turned out that Mary was spending money that was intended for the needs of the aria.

Imelda Marcos (Philippines)

Imelda Marcos, who is the widow of the 10th Philippine president, is another first lady who has a habit of extravagant spending. Got nicknamed "Steel Butterfly" from her countrymen, she became obsessed with shopping after she had uncontrolled access to the country's budget.

When President Marcos and his wife left the country after a military coup, more than 1,000 pairs of expensive designer shoes were found in Imelda's rooms inside the presidential house.

Nancy Reagan (USA)

One of Ronald Reagan's closest lifelong advisors was his wife Nancy. She became even more worried about her husband's well-being after an attempt on his life in 1981. But very few people know that Nancy herself liked to "consult with the cosmos" before giving advice to the president. The first lady was fascinated by astrology and regularly visited a personal astrologer.

Helen Taft (USA)

Helen was the wife of US President William Howard Taft. Her stay at the White House coincided with the "dry law", which operated until 1933.

Not paying attention to the ban on the sale of alcohol, Helen not only did nothing to stop the sellers who tried to circumvent the law, but she herself visited parties, where the punch and champagne poured down the river.

Carla Bruni (France)

Carla Bruni is the wife of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The romance of this pair developed at an astonishingly fast pace, so the wedding was played soon after the pair first met.

Subsequently, however, Carla admitted that she prefers polygamy to traditional marriage. According to her interview, the ex-first lady likes to enjoy the attention of several fans at once, and her love lasts no more than 3 weeks.

Rachel Jackson (USA)

Rachel was the wife of Andrew Jackson, who became the seventh president of America. The couple married in 1794. But only during the presidential race the shocking secrets of the first lady became known. It turned out that Andrew is not Rachel's only husband. Although she married Jackson, she never divorced her first husband, Lewis Robards.

Bernadette Chirac (France)

Bernadette Chirac, the wife of former President Jacques Chirac, no doubt deserves to be called a very patient woman. Her steadiness was always more than worthy of the title of the First Lady. She did everything possible to hide the illegal deeds of her husband. Being well aware of his propensity for polygamy, she for a long time pretended that nothing special was happening. Nevertheless, in recent years, these family secrets have finally become known.

Queen Rania Al-Abdallah (Jordan)

Rania is the wife of King Abdullah II in Jordan. She always looks absolutely charming and behaves in accordance with her status.

But Rania has one flaw, which is rarely mentioned in the press: she adores wearing gold shoes decorated with precious stones. The average weight of a pair of such shoes is about 400 grams, but the queen, apparently, does not notice these inconveniences.
