There are informal pictures. It was taken roughly two weeks ago. Princess Sarah enjoying the chocolates yummy!

[Humera]

thanx for the pics alfie:)
P. Sarah looks great. I dont think she's looking chubbier as someone mentioned in another thread. If there are pregnancy rumours, I think they might be premature.

[Zina]

I have to say that Sarah is looking a little bit chunkier nowadays!

[Humera]

well I have a hard time telling whether she has gained weight or not. I guess people who see her on tv and in person can tell the difference better.
Is a royal pregnancy usually a source of speculation in Brunei like it is in other countries with royalty?

[alfie]

Your welcome Humera! Yes, your right royal pregnancy is usually a source of speculation in Brunei too. Another royal pregnancy I heard recently is of Mena, Pengiran Anak Wadood's wife. Princess Masna's daughter-in-law.

[Humera]

Yes alfie I heard about Mena too. One of our members told me that she was pregnant, I think 5 months. That was several weeks ago.
btw..what do Bruneians think about Sarah having a baby right now? I dont know how old Queen Saleha was when she had her first baby but she must've been quite young.
I guess if Sarah were to have a baby, she could still continue with her studies. If she wants to, that is.
Oh and I just remembered, how is Princess Masna? Is she back from her treatment abroad?

[alfie]

Bruneians think it is a good idea, especially with all that has happen in the past weeks. Today I heard Princess Rashidah is also expecting. Yeah! exactly Humera, she could still have a baby & study at the same time. Princess Masna is doing well & resting.

[Saba]

Queen Saleha gave birth to her first child, a daughter 3 months before her 23rd birthday, and 4 years after she married the Sultan.

Queen Saleha was born 7th Oct 1946,
and married the Sultan 29th July1965 their first child,
a daughter, was born 26th July1969.

[Humera]

wow. Is it true about P.Rashidah expecting?
I think having a new grandchild will be good for Queen Saleha. I have seen pictures and video footage of her with P.Rashidah's daughters and she seems like such an affectionate grandmother. Like all grandmothers i suppose.
Its true, if P.Sarah were to have a baby it would take the Queen's mind off her own troubles. The Crown Prince and Princess will have been married for a year tomorrow. Some of the european crown princesses became pregnant before their first wedding anniversary. But those women are in their 30s though. CP Sarah is still very young has plenty of time.

[Akilah]

I have not heard anything about Sarah attending a university. I know that she finished high school, but when does she plan to go back? I know that she is young, but going back to school after a 2 or 3 year break cannot be good. Just as she gets into the follow of royal life to usurp it for college is ridiculous.

If she had any sure plans to return to school she would have already returned, even if it was a part-time basis.

[Humera]

Maybe one of our Bruneian members can answer this better but some of them have mentioned in the past that Sarah is still studying, writing exams etc. I dont exactly know if its high school or college she's attending though.
