Are the Royal Family all live in same palace? What about Sultan's brothers and sisters?

So is this like a condo building where the prince and princess have something like a penthouse or do they own the whole thing? Also they will live in the Palace that the Sultan lives in now when they are crowned right? Thanks!

Any of your here have been or seen other palace. I have never seen the photos before. Istana Nurul Izzah.

What a lovely Queen.

dear all,

is there a book available on the etiquette and protocol of the palace?
how do we conduct ourselves in the midst of royalty?
how to address each one of them according to their rank?
i think every royal household has different customs...no?
i hope that somebody can help me with this.

[el-khanz]

I'm sure they have rules about etiqquette and protocol but I'm not sure if the book is published. Maybe, besides the royals themselves, they have it for their staff.

[ghroyal]

Protocol is set of rules for more official occasions. A form of formalised etiquette with very stiff procedures. While there are many intersting books on the subject, I have never come across any that specialize in a royal court or in royal courts in general. You will find a few rules on how to entertain and be entertained by British royalty in Debrett's Etiquette and Modern Manners. The book PROTOCOL (Mary Jane McCaffree) has many of the standard protocol rules that are applied in official entertainment, but it is an American book and is very specific to the White House protocol.
I sincerely doubt that any royal court would have a book. It is really a set of rules that are more or less passed down from person to person. Sure, they probably have some written lists etc... however in general the protocol is coordinated very much with the ministries of foreign affaires, as it is most visible during state visits and in conjunction with trips. For local events the rules are normally sent by the royal court / royal chamberlain to whomever will do the receiving of the royals. (Theatres, factories, schools, and even individuals). It is also normal procedure to send detailed information to anyone who has an invitation by someone at the royal court. Once you arrive at the palace, there will be designated persons who will assist you with everything such as when and how to bow or curtsie, how to address the royal and so on...
I hope this was helpful....

[farlinass]

The Istana Nurul Iman palace is the official residence of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah. The palace is located on a leafy, riverside sprawl of hills on the banks of the Brunei River directly south of Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, no more than a few miles outside the city center. It is the largest residential palace in the world and the world's largest residence of any type. It was designed by the National Artist of the Philippines for Architecture, Leandro V. Locsin and built by Filipino firm, Ayala International.

i don't know if it applies also to royalty, but i found some kind of "behaviour rules"
on second thought, i guess it does, especially in royalty, behaviour is important!
