[cutie]

To Humera,


I like Malyasian royalty very much but there is not much info available. that's why i am interested.

Ok cutie, I found out a way to figure out who the lady you're curious about is.
look at these pictures first

Now, in both these pictures, she's accompanied by an elderly gentleman and the one wearing glasses. On Gettyimages, the elderly gentlemen is identified as Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj of Malaysia's Johor state. So the lady's presumably his wife and like you suspected, the guy in the glasses is probably their son.

Here's a good link I found about Malaysian royal history, at the bottom of the page, all the various states are listed

I found out that this couple has ten children. 2 sons and eight daughters, and these are their names.

1. Tengku Puteri Johor Kamariah Aminah binti Sultan Iskander [11 JUL 1956 - ]
2. Tengku Hajjah Azizah Aminah binti Sultan Iskander [1961 - ]
3. Tengku Besar Zabedah Aminah binti Sultan Iskander
4. Tengku Mahkota IBRAHIM ISMAIL ibn Sultan Iskander
5. Tengku Mariam Zaharah binti Sultan Iskander
6. Tengku Aminah Kalsom binti Sultan Iskander
7. Tengku Muna Najiah binti Sultan Iskander
8. Tengku ABDUL MAJID ibn Sultan Iskander
9. Tengku Maimunah Ismiliah bte Sultan Iskander
10. Tengku Noraini Fatimah binti Sultan Iskander

I don't know which one because I can't read malay. But I'm happy to know we found some info.

The woman in the lilac dress is Sultanah Zanariah. She is a former Miss Malaysia.

Humera,

how did you find the picture in post#83 and your previous posts?

[Humera]

well most of the pictures are from Gettyimages, but there's also pictures on Polfoto and I found some on http://www.imaginescan.dk but they're gone now, they were up a couple of days ago, unfortunately you cant search the archive on that site

the prince with glasses. who is he?

He is not the prince, he is one of the Sultan from "Kelantan" (a state in Malaysia, eastern side of Malaysia) His name is HRH Sultan Ismail Petra. He has 4 kids, eldest (crown prince of Kelantan) just got married few months back with his distant relative from southern Thailand, the other 2 kids is boy and a girl.

Hi, the woman in lilac is not from Brunei, she is a Sultanah Zanariah(name or title given to Sultan's wife in Malay) from the state of Johor, Malaysia (Johor is the southen state in Malaysia- near Singapore) and BTW is is not as young as she look, probably 60 plus> *surprise*
And the sitting, they didn't put their spouse next to each other, (probably ti mingle) but in real fact, the guy next to her (as i explained above: Sultan Ismail) is her distant relative.

Was it the Akad Nikah (religious wedding ceremony)? I thought the function where the couple wear blue dress was Bersanding ceremony and it is traditional ceremony. On the Akad Nikah usuallythe groom will give gifts to his bride. The gifts called mahar.
