Just a quick question; I'm not very familiar with the Royal family's structure and hierarchy. I know the sultan married the queen, but I don't know how the dynamics of the subsequent wives enter the picture. Does anyone know of a site with a family tree of the sultan and his wives? 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:
