Nothing says "happy anniversary" like the heart-eyes emoji – and a basket of breathtaking blooms.

On Wednesday, Jordan's Queen Rania shared a beaming shot of herself holding a stunning bowl of pink flowers that husband King Abdullah gave her on their 22nd anniversary.

The very modern queen, 44, who calls herself a "mum and a wife who has a really cool day job" in her Instagram bio, also shared a romantic message with her 53-year-old husband, writing, "22 years on and my heart still skips a beat . . . So blessed to be at your side. Happy anniversary, Your Majesty."

The mom of four recalled her own big day of joining "a venerable family" when she wrote for PEOPLE on the occasion of Prince William's wedding to the then-Kate Middleton in 2011.

"I might have looked like a serene bride in the photos, but that's because for the journey there, I was largely immobile," she remembered. "When my brother-in-law Prince Feisal picked me up in a vintage car, its ceiling was so low and my hair was so high, my head jammed and I couldn't move my neck. "

And she said, "This life – of princess and then as queen – is not a path traveled by many."

But as she does, she has embraced social media – like other royals – to forge a connection with her followers.

And that means sharing everyday mom moments alongside more formal snaps. "Throwback from last week . . . Exams are around the corner," she Instagrammed last week as she stood at the desk of 10-year-old Prince Hashem.

Unlike Malaysia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spouse...2First_Lady.22

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia) is theoretically deemed a constitutional figurehead within the framework of a constitutional monarchy. It is argued that Article 32(2) of the Constitution of Malaysia stipulates that the Consort of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong takes precedence over all individuals in the federation and is second only to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong himself. Hence, it is argued that the Raja Permaisuri Agong is, by strict analogy only, the First Lady of Malaysia. It should however be borne in mind that such a title cannot exist in Malaysia in the first place, as "First Lady" exclusively refers to wives of presidents and not monarchs.

Before Najib's premiership, there has not been a precedent in Malaysia where someone other than the wife of the Prime Minister served as a self-styled "First Lady". While the Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's first late wife, Tun Endon Mahmood Ambak underwent treatment for breast cancer in the United States, the title of "First Lady" was not officially designated.

The issue was brought up only during the premiership of Najib when his wife widely used the title of "First Lady". Many quarters either argue that it is reserved for the Raja Permaisuri Agong, or that it should never be used at all due to Malaysia not being a republic.

The issue didn't stop there as there was an obscure new unit established within the Prime Minister's Department with the acronym FLOM (which was not explained on the website, but taken to stand for "First Lady of Malaysia"). Datuk Siti Azizah binti Sheikh Abod was the Special Officer for the unit. The news on FLOM was widely covered by many bloggers with their own stories and analysis. This led to the government webpage containing the information of the contacts in FLOM department to be removed a few days after the story came out. However some search engines managed to store the cached version of the page.[4] Many groups questioned the validity and functionality of the department. There were also some queries, especially in the Malaysian Parliament, on how much allocation from the National Budget was allocated for the department.
