She seems to spend most time with her mother, not her husband. Despite all her wealth, when can she ever take a holiday except on official overseas visits? I can imagine her life is pretty dull.

Hi, I'm new here..actually frm Brunei myself and very intrigued abt Princess Sarah ever since I heard abt the engagement. From my point of view, I think she's more into it for the privileges. I dont think I would wanna be in her shoes, unless it was based purely on true love (dating from the start). However, I believe that she still keeps in contact with her friends..I've seen her driving around, with her friends in the car and I think that was a trip to her parent's house.

Well from what i know, her being given a title has been on hold since His Majesty married her and with her producing an heir, the appointed palace officials finally allocated an appropriate title for her. By traditional rules of title allocation, i think since she is not a distant royal family member (dayangku) nor is she a local, she can only be given the title Yang Teramat Mulia (YTM) or if i'm not mistaken the exact translation would be Her Most Excellency. However, the Sultan can overrule this and if he wanted to, he could give her the HRH title.

It is better for her to keep some kind of normalcy in her own life. Drive around, keep her own group of friends and so on. It will keep her sane.

Well with her position and status now i really hope Sarah can do something worthwhile , meaningful , making a difference to people of lesser means and the have nots. Something like the role the late princess diana played would be wonderful: bringing cheer to people and world around. :p

The combination of both would be good when she bring up her future family. Diana was able to do it with both of her sons .

Alfie, do you know why the younger sisters of Sultan never show up or joint the royal function and who is the old lady sitting before princess Rashida's husband at Pangeran Anak Hjh Siti Radhiah wed and who is the lady sitting next of Princess Norain ? Would you please tell me, thank you.

The lady next to HRH Princess Norain is her sister, HRH Princess Amal Nasibah. And the old Lady next to Princess Rashidah's husband is HRH Babu Raja , Her Majesty Queen Saleha's Mother

[Cantik]

Thanks, Intandelima and why Princess Amal Nasibah, Princess Amal Jefriah and another Sultan's sister if I'm not mistaken is Princess Amal Rukiah, they never show up in royal function, only three sisters of Sultan present in the royal funtion (Princess Masna + Princess Nor'ain + Princess Amal Umi Kalsum).

[Cantik]

Dear members did you see Princess Radhiah wed photo and both of HM and Queen Saleha were there but the situation was different of the previous time when the HM only has Queen Saleha (specially in Prince Billa wed both of them always smile and talked together and in other function) in Princess Radhiah They just sitting and keep silent, no smile, no talked. For the Queen I always say " I love you and May Allah Bless You "

[Joumana]

What is the relationship between Arab People and the people of Brunei? Because Brunei people uses Arabic names like, Rachida, Saliha, Sabiha, Nor 3ain etc...

Princess Hjh Amal Jefriah's husband represents her on her behalf. he is the one sitting 2nd from the other end, same row as the Crown Prince Billah at Pengiran Anak Hjh Siti Radhiah's wedding. Princess Hjh Amal Nasibah occasionally goes to the royal functions. Princess Hjh Amal Rakiah is a very busy businesswoman. I'm sorry I know more but I think this is the best details I can give you.

The groom looks quite young. Does anyone know how old he and the bride are?
Its a shame we didnt get more pictures from this wedding, no close-ups of the tiara or the rest of the bride's jewels:(

[Cantik]
