Thanks in advance!

The Sultan has one wife, Queen Saleha.
He divorced his second wife, Princess Mariam, in 2003. She was stripped of her royal titles. But even while he was married to Mariam, she was a Princess and the Sultan's first wife, Saleha, was always the one known as Queen. So the first wife took precedence over the second.

Here's a link to site with details on the royal family:

Last day to view display of strong royal bonds

By Rosli Abidin Yahya

The public has until today to visit an exhibition, "Paduka Anakanda Julangan Kasih Ayahanda", held at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Berakas, which focuses on the overwhelming love between His Majesty and the late Sultan. There are altogether 10 galleries at the exhibition, with the first depicting the life of Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien since childhood, through adolescence, until the late Sultan ascended to the throne on June 6, 1950. At the final gallery, photos taken during the funeral of the late Sultan can be seen as well as His Majesty's Titah on October 20, 1986, regarding his father, which reflects the emotional nature of the exhibition.

P.Rashidah's kids are so cute:)
I looked up their names:
oldest daughter: Raheemah Sanaul Bolkiah
younger daughter: Hariisah Widadul Bolkiah
youngest son: Abdul Raqiib
All the kids have their maternal grandfather's last name.

yea they're adorable! for some reason if u read the newspaper article, Pg Wadood also inherited the name "bolkiah",. how is that possible as he is not a prince but people like prince qawi do not have it? (or does he?)

Brunei's Prince Mohamed Bolkiah calls on President Nathan, PM Lee

It's amazing how an ugly man like Wadood can attract somebody as gorgeous as Mena

Heya Zina :p. Don't say that . Just because a guy is not that handsome does not mean he is not allowed to fall in love with someone as gorgeous as Mena. Not all relationships are based on the outside. I'm sure they love eachother inside-out

...

To Jenyyfer :) . Not to sound rude, but I find it a bit disturbing that you had taken people's photos from Friendster and posted them on a public forum. Have you asked Mena for permission? Yes, although she did post them up on Friendster for people to see, I don't think she would be happy when she finds out that people are posting up her pictures else where. Perhaps it would be better to post the url address of her Friendster homepage. In that way you'll only be guilty for advertising her Friendster page Btw, this also goes for all the other royals that has a Friendster account, not just Mena.

Hi All, been busy with work again. To answer your question Humera, Pengiran Anak Wadood doesn't have the title of Prince. Hopefully I can explained it better this way, all the children born to Princes & Princesses automatically has Pengiran Anak to their names. However the sons of the Princes carried the title Pengiran Muda (which stands for Prince) e.g. Prince Mohammad and Prince Jefri's sons carries the title Pengiran Muda
