Note
  1. Although he is sometimes called the rightful heir to his successor as the Crown Prince, this is still technically invalid as he can still be replaced by the current Sultan of Kelantan's son in the event of a marriage. However, this is unlikely to happen because Sultan Muhammad V does not have a son.
