I know you wont have an definite answer ofcourse but what do the average people say about this?

I think the main reason for this arranged union is that the Sultan, so far, only has one daughter married off (Princess Rashidah). And the others are not getting any younger! Majeedah is the most attractive of the lot, so she would be easier to marry off than Princesses Muta Wakillah or Hafizah, for eg.

As for realising the ill effects of inter-marriage, HM should be well aware. A couple of Prince Mohammad's children (Prince Qawi's brothers and sisters) are mentally and physically not normal. You can see them in the Disney on Ice pictures. They are easy to spot from their strange appearance!

HM's sister's, Princess Norain's children (some) are very sickly, too. All because of marrying too close into the family. And Princess Norain's husband (who was Raja Isteri's brother!) recently died of health complications.

OMG, I need to share this .... yesterday, I bumped into her majesty Queen in Chanel boutique in KLCC!! I don't know she was inside ... she did'nt request the boutique to be closed... at first she on the other corner, and walking towards me, and we were like eyes to eyes and exchanging smile ..(what are suppose to do in that situation? I really don't know the protocol) and since she's moving towards me I moved back word, untill I reached dead end corner!!! and she's so close to me and still smilling..) by then I feel that it will so not appropriate for me if I didn't show some acknowledgement.... therefore I bend and reach her hand(she know what am I doing ..give her hand to me...) and KISS her HAND!!!! yes I kiss her hand, and U wanna the funniest thig is ..... one of her huge diamond ring knocked my upper nose/forehed ( and if u wanna know her jewelry yesterday, I've posted in royal jewel thread) ..... OH God it's really an experience!! being sooo nice she even ask me "dari mana ?....." meaning from where..... don't know the appropriate answer ... tell her that I'm just checking thing out ha..ha..stupid answer!
Me, without just cause, and in euphoric state, suddenly in shopping mode went for shopping spree, after hit ZARA and Evita Peroni boutique, I decided to have a new shoe, and hit Stuart Weitzman, not even 5 minutes there, I sense something amist .... OMG here again Her Majesty walk in ......again face to face .. she soooo nice ahe can remember me ... and said this "jumpa lagi kitak ..." ( we meet again) oh really what a lucky day ... then one of her escort came to me as though she want to whisper something ( at that time I really feel that she want's me out of that place) no..no.. she didn't said, but what she said was "....it seems that u both share the same taste ".... and now I'm cleverer with the answer, said "may be because we both libran ..."
and today I'll telling every one my great experience, I've met many royals and celebs but nothing compare to meeting raja Isteri .... long life ...Amin

Nice that you had a good experience BOLK. Sometimes they are friendly, sometimes not, depending on their mood and if they know you. Of all the times I have encountered Raja Isteri, she never makes eye contact! I think she is intimidated by certain types of people, and charmed by others, like yourself.

The Crown Prince is always friendly whenever I met him though. And Prince Qawi always smiles and waves when I saw him.

yes I saw the pictures of Prince Muhammad's kids. Its hard to believe they are Prince Qawi's brothers and sisters!
Honestly I find it all quite alarming. The sultan really should have more sense than this. He should keep his daughter's best interest in mind. I dont get why he cant have her marry a commoner, like the CP. Or perhaps a malaysian royal? dont they have any eligible bachelors?
