The people of Brunei celebrated their country’s 40th anniversary of independence. A parade was held at the National Stadium in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, Queen Saleha, Prince Al-Muhtadee, Princess Anak Sarah, Prince Abdul Mateen and Princess Anisha Rosnah were present at the parade.
Brunei gained its independence from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984. The official National Day that celebrates the country's independence takes place traditionally on February 23. Brunei was admitted to the United Nations on 22 September 1984, which made it the organization's 159th member.
Magnifiques photos du couple princier tout fraîchement marié !
ReplyDeleteI don’t find the pale grey colour particularly flattering but the dress does fit well. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteIs there no picture of crown princess sarah? She is there beside the queen in gold chair. She is like catherine... will become the future queen
ReplyDeleteIt is all about Anisha I wanted to see the others too
DeleteWhen there is No News from the Famous Royals, unknown Royals fill the gap.
ReplyDeleteVery strange situation going on with the UK royals. |Melanie|
DeleteI am unpleasantly surprised that news about the Brunei royal family is published on this website.
ReplyDeleteI will just briefly remind you that Brunei is a monarchy where the Sultan and royal family have absolute power, the parliament has not been convened for more than 60 years. Brunei's Sharia-based law discriminates against women and various LGBT minorities. Homosexuality is illegal in Brunei, sexual relations are punishable by death or whipping or caning; non-muslims are restricted in their faith
... and here we happily discuss what the members of the Brunei royal family are wearing and what - in my opinion - tacky opulent fancy jewelry and gems they are wearing . Why the double standard? Because Brunei is rich country (thanks the fact that it literally lies on oil)? Yes, I know this blog is not about politics but about fashion, but the facts about Brunei cannot be overlooked. I refuse to discuss about fashion of royals of such country.

You refuse comment about the fashion? Then you are commenting at the wrong place!
DeleteAgree !!
DeleteDear Stephanie. You have just given a small insight into this country, thank you.
DeleteThere are a lot more (negative) points that could be added.
I respect that this is a fashion blog so I’ll just pass on.
Next please …….
Every country is different. I suppose the current long-standing situation in Brunei works for the people, who do enjoy a lot of benefits from their oil-rich economy. There's good & bad everywhere. |Melanie|
DeleteI agree with Stephanie. I do not wish to give my opinion on their fashion choices (although women have not much rights in these countries, it is not their fault). I cannot stand that there are still people in this world, in 2024 whose freedom is systematically taken away.
DeleteHappy 40st National Day. Nice colors on the lady's dresses. css
ReplyDeleteThank you for the photos.
ReplyDeleteI also appreciate the photos, and for showing us other royal houses/families around the world that we rarely or never get to see or to know about.
