List of Bruneian royal consorts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Royal consorts of Brunei are women that have been married to the Sultan of Brunei. Sultans have historically practised polygyny meaning they have had multiple wives at the same time.
The consort may be crowned as the Raja Isteri (Queen Consort) if they are Malay and descended from a previous Sultan of Brunei or another Muslim monarch. If they are appointed to this role their full style and title is Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Raja Isteri followed by their given name.[1]
The consort is titled Pengiran Isteri (Princess Consort) if they are not crowned or if they are not Malay or descended from a previous Sultan and therefore ineligible to be crowned as the queen consort. Their full style and title is Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Pengiran Isteri followed by their given name.[1]
The titles of the Sultan's consorts are outlined in the constitution but it is ultimately at the discretion of the Sultan. The Bruneian royal court does not fully translate the titles, instead using Her Majesty Raja Isteri for the queen consort and Her Royal Highness Pengiran Isteri for the princess consort.[2][3]
