I must admit that i don't know much about the Brunei Royal Family, apart from the fact that the Sultan used to be the richest man in the world!

But, I'm just wondering do the Brunei Princesses wear hedscarves at home and not when abroad, as in the last 2 posts you've poted, Humera? Is that common?

well...I think one of our bruneian members might be able to explain it better. But since they've been away for a while I'll try to.
From what I've gathered after asking similar questions, this requirement for royal women to cover is pretty recent. Even Queen Saleha didnt use to cover her hair a few years ago. Some have suggested that she might have started doing so after she went for the hajj.
Also, the new crown princess doesnt cover all the time, mostly at official duties at home and abroad. But at less formal events in Brunei she doesnt cover. Most women of the royal family do wear the hijab. Not all of them though (Datin Faizah, wife of the Sultan's brother Prince Sufri etc)
As for Princesses Azemah and Fadzillah, they spend most of their time in London with their mom anyway so they're only seen wearing the hijab at official events in Brunei.

I agree. All things depends on what a person really wants or thinksis good for her. We can't blame a woman if she decide to not wear hijab...but of course (and this is more hard to accept for Western people..as me, for example) we can't blame one who choose to wear it, calling her names as "narrow minded", "dark mentallity " and so on...

Respecting each other, this world may be wonderful.

Vanesa.

Thank you for the explanation, Humera.

third pic is with princess azemah. pics from www.friendster.com

[Humera]

great pics again jennyfer.
Azemah and Fadzillah seem like they're very close to each other and to their adopted siblings. I think its wonderful.
Its too bad they dont seem to have the same relationship with Queen Saleha's kids.

Yes! they are Hjh Mariam's daughters. They are enjoying the summer holidays at the beach, mostly jet-skiing and other water sport activities.

I would just like to ask something. So, how many children does the Sultan have with his 2nd wife?

I hope someone could give me links to their biographies also.
