Royalty of Brunei 1: January 2004-February 2005

[Zina]

Any recent pics of P. Sarah?

Found this picture of Sarah wearing grey, on another site. I have never seen it before, and I thought it was a nice picture to include here.

The other pics are from the book "Curahan Kasih" - 1 is of the royal couple when they were courting and the other of Sarah on a school field trip.

Hi Zina

Thanks for the lovely pictures! In fact I was looking for the book " curahan kashi" .do you know anywhere i could purchase that? anymore pictures found in the book as well? would love to see more of Sarah's picture before meeting the prince or of younger days example.

The first picture of Sarah in gray is actually purple. I have seen the other version of the same outfit somewhere in the royalty brunei thread and Sarah as usual looks resplendent but she looks especially good in this one.

I'm afraid Curah Kasih is not available in local stores. It was a gift from the His Majesty the Sultan and Her Majesty the Queen to the royal couple(crown prince billah & princess sarah) on their wedding day and only given to the guests during their wedding ceremony 9th Sept 2004 including other special gifts.

I have a photo of Princess Sarah when she was younger. The other photo is with her grandfather.

I'm afraid you can't purchase the book 'Curah Kasih' Minnie sorry. It was a gift for the royal couple from His Majesty and Her Majesty and was only given to guests on the royal wedding on the 9th Sept 2004. There is even a beautiful letter from their Majesties to the Royal couple in the book and one very good poem about life written by His Majesty's late father and the crown prince's grandfather.

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?

More photos from Curahan Kasih

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?

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.

 

[Reina]

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.

Hi Alfie

That would be fantastic and hope it is not too much of a trouble. Thanks again and hope to read them.

which one is he?

 

[Zina]

Princess Majeedah's future husband

which one is he?

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?

thanx for the info zina. Would you mind pointing him out in the eid pictures I've posted?

He is in the third picture which you posted . PMA Qawi is at the far right of the front row.

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]

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

 

[kinneret5764]

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

 

[Humera]

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

yes I noticed that! thanx.
I guess the fact that he was at her grad means the engagement is more or less official

 

[Humera]

Here are the thumbnails of the grad pics
I guess everyone was there, except for Princess Mutawakillah and Fadzillah. Or maybe they're just not in the pics.

Close ups of Princess Sarah and Princess Azemah who looks very pretty as usual.

Hi Everybody! Sorry I've been away for a couple of days for work.....
So everybody knows Prince Qawi is Princess Majeddah's future husband. Princess Majeddah graduated from Masters of Arts in Environment Development at King's College, University of London where she has been studying from Sept 2003 till Sept 2004.

Here's a photo of Prince Qawi during last year Asean Summit in Laos.
