Tracing the line

Tengku Nor Ehsani with Princess Masna and Prince Abdul Mateen,
at the recent birthday of HM Sultan of Brunei, July 2006.

Its interesting to trace lienage of the royal family. One curiousity was recently answered when I came across a blog which explains partially what I have been quite curious about... (too confusing?..... well, its always is... heheh)

Sultan Ahamd Tajuddin, the 27th sultan of Brunei married Tengku Raihani Ibni Sultan Sulaiman of Selangor, (b. 1911 – d. 22nd September 1993) in 1934. Tengku Raihani was the daughter of the 5th Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sulaiman (1898-1938) with Che Maimun binti Abdullah (With Che Maimun, Sultan Sulaiman had 5 more princes, hence brothers of Tengku Raihani).

Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin and Tengku Raihani had one princess, named Pengiran Anak Puteri Nor Ehsani (b. 1935).

After Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin passed away in 1950, Tengku Raihani left Brunei and married Raja Kamaluddin Raja Haji Harun Al-Rashid (b. 1918), the 5th son of Raja Haji Harun Al-Rashid ibni Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah, Raja Kechil Sulong of Perak, in August 1958.

Princess Nor Ehasani married Tengku Pengiran bin Tengku Abdul Aziz Syah, son of her maternal uncle, Tengku 'Abdu'l Aziz Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan 'Alauddin Sulaiman Shah, the Tengku Indra Setia di-Raja of Selangor, and have 3 children, namely Tengku Putera Pawzy, Tengku Putera Amir Farouk and Tengku Putera Muhammad Harris Fadizllah.

Tengku Putera Muhammad Harris Fadzillah married and begot one son and daughter, Tengku Putera Muhammad Amar Faris (b.1991) and Tengku Puteri Amal Farizah (b.1992) both born in London, United Kingdom.

Does anyone have any other information on Princess Nor Ehasani, her children and grandchildren? Where do they work and do they actually stay in Brunei?

Thanks.

Note: Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin also had other children with other wife (wives?), namely Pengiran Anak Datin Seri Setia Hjh Siti Saerah and Pengiran Anak Siti Zubaidah. Anyone have any information on them as well?

Sultan Ahmad tajuddin had only one wife, ie Tengku Raihani (or her title, Tengku Ampuan Brunei) The other daughters was from his unofficial wife (concubine or we malay called it gundik). Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin passed away in Singapore. They were actually on their way to England to make his only daughter heir to the throne. As far as I know, once the Sultan died, Tengku Ampuan Raihani was not treated well by Sultan Omar Saifuddin and infact was refused audience with the current Sultan before her death due to kidney cancer. The funny thing was, both of the current sultan's wives have met and invited her to the palace. I'm still wondering why the current Sultan thought he was to BIG to see a dying woman.....

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Tengku Fauzi, Tengku Farouk, and Tengku Fadzilla? I would be grateful if you could let me know.
