View this post on Instagram It was the most important and, at the same time, the most difficult period in my life. The last three months of pregnancy I spent in hospitals, staying in bed with droppers in my both hands. I had too many difficulties with pregnancy. The support of my closest people and my love for my son and Faith in the best helped me in that not simple time. Alhamdulillah for the safe outcome of pregnancy. Это был самый важный и, в то же время, самый сложный период в моей жизни. Последние три месяца беременности я провела в больницах, на капельницах, при полном постельном режиме, с множеством осложнений. Помогли поддержка близких и моя любовь к сыну и Вера в лучшее. И спасибо всевышнему за благополучный исход беременности.

The support of my closest people and my love for my son and faith in the best helped me in that not simple time.” Sultan Muhammad V abdicated as Malaysia’s king , or Yang di-Pertuan Agong, in January, two months after his surprise wedding to Voevodina, which reportedly took place at a concert hall in Moscow. He was replaced by Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah , the hereditary ruler of the central Malaysian state of Pahang and a prominent adviser to several world sporting bodies. Why are Malaysian princes in love with foreign brides? The agong serves as Malaysia’s head of state, not dissimilar to the role the queen plays in Britain and its territories. His role is largely ceremonial, however, as although he has extensive constitutional powers he must exercise them on the advice of the cabinet. Under Malaysia’s unique rotational system of constitutional monarchy , the hereditary rulers of each of the country’s nine states are given a chance to be agong for five years. These nine royals form the Conference of Rulers, along with four state governors who attend but cannot vote.
