I would assume that the First Lady of the Netherlands would be, of course, the Queen.
In a Republic, the First Lady is the President's wife, full stop. The current Portuguese President is divorced so we don't have a FL. Nobody thinks of calling the PM's wife the FL.
It would be odd, in the NL, if HM and the PM's wife would attend the same event, calling the latter the First Lady of the country

Funny how countries have their own versions. In the Netherlands the English term First Lady is used but not to describe the Queen but the wife of the PM (if he is married that is, our current PM is a bachelor). So in the Netherlands we see a practice where the English term is used for the wife of someone holding a political office while the Dutch version is used for the Queen.
It is however not laid dawn as a formal rule to do so resulting in many variations. Previous Message
First lady is used quite widely, I believe. We use the term also in Norway (førstedame), not just about the First Lady of the US, but about any country's first lady. The first lady is always used in relation to the wife (or in some instances daughter) of the highest ranking male ie President/King, never about a Prime Minister.
As for rank (precedence) in Finland - I would imagine the wife of the president is ranked higher than the Prime Minister, but I have not seen this written anywhere. Previous MessagePrevious Message
