hi Alfie

Thanks for the great looking pictures. Hrh highness's really an affectionate person from the picture with granddad.

So what's in the book curahan kasih? I only read about it in the papers but they did not say much about the bool except that it is a commemorative book. If not too much of a trouble hope you can post more of Sarah's pictures from the book like school days trips etc etc.

would you be able to reproduce the poem here?

**Humera** · #**102** 01-20-2005, 03:49 PM

Pictures of the Sultan, his four sons, and others offering Eid prayers.

Here are some. Left to Right: Picture of a very happy couple; Sarah on her school trip (looking very much like the supermodel!); Crown Prince first meeting Sarah on his visit to her college. At Wimbledon , UK around June 2004. I will try and add more later on.

I was wondering if someone could put pics of when the Crown Prince went to Petra? Thank you.

These pics were taken in London recently in Brunei Hall, Norfolk Square. Brunei Hall is where brunei students studying in London can live and also those students outside London can spend the weekend holidays. In some of the photos you can also see Princess Majeddah's future husband :)

Thanks Zina, :) really look forward to more from the Curahan Kasih book. Hrh is truly stunning! no matter which angle, she's absolutely gorgeous and a head turner. On the picture with CP meeting her in school, wonder if that's what caught CP's eyes. Wish could meet Sarah in person.

Zina, could ask a favour of a larger picture on Sarah with the sunglasses? hehe maybe want to pin that up as a poster. :p

I believe it must be Pengiran Muda Abdul Qawi, (popularly known as "Prince Qawi", (even though he's not strictly a prince) who is Princess Majeedah's future husband.. since he's been shown on Brunei TV news, in the UK with HM and CP Billah. I guess the cat's out the bag!

Prince Qawi is the son of Prince Mohammad (The Sultan's brother). PQ is very closely related to Princess Majeedah. PQ's parents are brother and sister to Princess Majeedah's parents.

Actually it is said that he is being forced to marry P. Majeedah, as he has a long time girlfriend. Pg. Muda Abd. Qawi's mother is said to be very controlling. Ah well, the path of true love never did run smooth !

Ok Minnie, I have made it so that if you click on the pictures, a bigger picture will open up. That is as large as I can make it, with my limited knowledge!

Thanks a lot, zina and alfie for all the lovely photos. :)

I find it strange that P. Abdul Qawi and P. Majeedah would marry as they are full first cousins. Abd. Qawi's mother (P. Zariah) is Q.Saleha's sister (Majeedah's mother) and his father (P. Mohammed) is the Sultan's full brother (Majeedah's dad). Aren't the families concerned about potential birth defects of any children due to such close inbreeding?

Yes, I find it strange also kinneret. Especially since CP Billah was allowed to marry a commoner instead of his cousin, which his parents originally wanted. I imagined that the Royals had come to their senses and we would see less of these intermarriages. But it appears not. Unless at the last minute, Majeedah is allowed to marry somebody else, as in the case of CP Billah.

Hi Zina

Molto gracias, wow !the picture are so clear !!!!!!

More pictures of the royal family ( not really sure how to post pictures here direct) attending Princess Majeedah graduation in uk - seems like the whole entourage of royalty is there including prince Azim and sister. Anyone knows which university is this?

P. Qawi is the gentleman behind P. Majeedah in this photo:

kinneret5764 · #**119** 01-25-2005, 09:46 PM

What degree did P. Majeedah receive? Where was she studying?

kinneret5764 · #**120** 01-25-2005, 09:51 PM

I think P. Qawi is cute. He's certainly better looking than is dad! What's with P. Mohammed's semi-Don King haircut?
