Zara is a pretty girl. Im curious about her background though, her features appear more western than Malaysian. Is her father a non-Malaysian? (I noticed her last name is Davidson)

Humera,it sounds like there's a Scots connection there.Don't forget that one of the Johorean Sultans married a Scots woman in the early part of the 20th. Century as well.

In conjunction with the Installation of the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong there is currently a special exhibition at the National Museum and to my surprise they allow cameras. Last weekend I had a chance to visit it and here are some rare pictures of Sultan Mizan and Terengganu Royal Family from the exhibition.

Their Majesties will be welcomed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and First Lady Ani Herawati.

Default The Royal Wedding of Raja Muda of Perak
The 3 day festivity of the Royal Wedding of Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah to Raja Puan Besar Tuanku Zara Salim was finally over last night with a glittering wedding reception and the splendid fireworks display. Sultan of Selangor and the Sultan and Sultanah of Kedah were among the guests of the reception.

Kindly visit this site to watch the video of the Conferment of the Royal Order of Darjah Kerabat Sultan Azlan Shah (the exclusive order for Perak Royal Family ) to the newly wed Zara Davidson making her the Consort to the Crown Prince Raja Muda Dr. Nazrin Shah.

Thus she is now styled Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Raja Puan Besar Perak Darul Ridzuan Tuanku Zara Salim:

Well, these are rare pictures of the visit, thank you banda_windsor.

Would love to see if you have picture/s from the State Banquet.
If not could you describe how's the banquet as you saw on Indonesian tv. What did they wear? The speech etc.

I'd love to show you the banquet pic. But unfortunately i don't have any. It's hard to find the picture of what happen inside the Presidential Palace. The few things that i can tell you for sure are, both King and the President wear a formal suit, not tuxedo and no order and decorations.

The First lady perhaps wear a national dress with traditional Batik. and the Queen probably wear the Kebaya labuh, and doesn't wear tiara.

Thanks for the answer. I thought the dresses are more or less like that. Because here also we have never seen yet a State Banquet held by Sultan Mizan honouring any visiting head of state. Last few weeks, I read on newspaper that President of Benin was about to visit Malaysia (first time for Sultan Mizan) but he cancelled the visit otherwise we would have seen the first visit

Thank you for this link. It looks like a beautiful wedding. Its a pity the pictures are so small, I was hoping we'd get to see some more stunning Malaysian royal jewels.
Do the bride and groom always wear yellow?

From what i heard, the President of Indonesia and the First Lady will pay a visit to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong XIII and the Queen soon. Perhaps it'll be sometimes in June or July. I'll let you know if i get more info. by the way, can you please post a picture of every current monarch of Malaysian states. It's quiet hard to find. Thanks before.
