I think P. Sarah's choice of outfit in the final group of pictures was not good. Those two pieces don't match at all. Stripes and florals together are never good.

IS P. Sarah permitted to speak? But she is only 17 so she must be bored out of her mind. I kind of feel a bit sorry for her cuz she could be doing normal things that 17 year olds do. But I think she is happy still though. But I do see why her mom would be concerned.

Princess Sarah gets to do most things girls of her age do. She goes to school, she goes out to gyms, concerts etc. But she is the Crown Princess. Going for state visits abroad is part of her job. Granted she's a bit too young but not much younger than some other royal ladies ie. the late Princess Diana when she got married.
Princess Sarah should be almost 18 now...i dont know when her b'day is.

Princess Sarah 18th Birthday is on the 9th of April 2005. I think Princess Sarah is doing a great job as Crown Princess. She certainly can hold up a conversation with Crown Prince of Japan during her royal wedding and other diplomatic and royal families from other countries. I'm confident she will excel in her duties as Crown Princess towards the future.

I agree with you kinneret. However, this is not the first time that Sarah has worn such mis-matched clothing. It makes me wonder, does she pick out her outfits personally, or does she have a "dresser" who selects her clothes that Sarah wears for formal duties.

Interestingly, all the royal women do wear outfits that "clash", very frequently. Too bright, too colorful and rather mis-matched patterns.

If I were in Sarah's position, I would take control of my own selection of clothes.

alfie are the pictures meant to be enlarged? they're too small.
I noticed that there are some pics of Abdul Wudood and his pretty wife Aminah.
Are they from the Crown prince's wedding?

yes, Humera it's meant to be enlarged, not sure why can't be though. I'll try making it larger. Yes, there are from the Crown Prince's wedding. On the second row, first picture the third guy(tall) is P.A.Ali future husband of Princess Hamidah. The other two are P.A.Hadi & P.A. Kadir(both sons of Princess Norain)

would you mind telling me who Princess Norain is?
I might've seen a picture of her but I cant put a name to the face.

Princess Norain is the sister of Sultan. Her husband was the late P.A. Yusof (Queen Saleha's brother) Here are two photos of her and her sister Princess Masn during the Women Police Force's Aniversary which there are patrons.

More photos of royal couple from Curahan Kasih.

1st photo was taken at a dinner honouring the Crown Prince. The dinner was organised by Brunei's Ministry of Education. Cannot be certain if Sarah and the Crown prince were dating at that time, or not. It looks like other students were also invited to that function.

**Humera** · #**174** 01-31-2005, 02:18 AM

Thank you, alfie & Zina for the pics.
I've never seen them before.

alfie · #**175** 01-31-2005, 04:22 AM

Your welcome Humera! Here are more photos, enjoy!

Blueice · #**176** 01-31-2005, 09:07 AM

Indeed, thank you for the lovely pictures - apart from not being easy to find many of them, they are very lovely showing two kindly looking young Royals who seem to be a very good match. Would you be so kind to tell us more about CP Sarah's family? Thank you.

Great photos Zina!!! Agree with blueice about the exclusivity of these photos and really thanks to Zina that we get to see them here. Look forward to more pictures frm the book and insights

Sarah's really a down to earth and conservative gal with nice simple dress sense from the pictures. It's nice to see her blossoming even more beautiful now.

Hi Blue ice

since i am at this section, I hope i can try to answer from the little that i know of the family (anyone please correct and add to my understanding) . Sarah's father , Abdul Rahaman , is a a minor royal bruneian , remotely related to the sultan and he works with the water dept . Sarah's mum Suzanne Aeby is swiss and works as a nurse in a bruneian hospital. Apparrently the parents met when they were studying in London back in the 70's. Sarah has two siblings - brothers , Irwan and Adrian. (not sure what they are doing). Hope this helps.

From what I know and read from, Sarah's family is rather well to do therefore the match with CP is really a compatible one.
