It’s official: One of the most eligible bachelors will be officially off the market, as it has been announced by the Bruneian Royal Family that Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei will be officially married to future wife Anisha come January next year.
As per the statement issued by the Royal Family’s representatives, 32-year-old Prince Pengiran Muda ‘Abdul Mateen Bolkiah is expected to wed Dayang Anisha Rosnah binti Adam at the beginning of 2024. Local news outlets report that the 10-day ceremony will be scheduled to take place on January 7th, beginning with the majlis istiadat bersuruh di-Raja or royal proposal.

This will then be swiftly followed by the akad nikah ceremony, otherwise known as the solemnisation of marriage, that will fall on January 11th. The wedding will culminate in a predictably opulent and lavish royal reception on 14 January 2024, which will be held at the official residence of the Sultan of Brunei, Istana Nurul Iman.

As is the case with most royal wedding protocols, the newly minted royal couple will then embark upon a procession across Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei’s capital, with a banquet dinner on January 15th concluding the festivities. Official portraits commissioned by the Royal Family of the couple were first broadcast across the country last Saturday (October 8th).
Born on August 10th 1991, Prince Abdul Mateen has long been considered to be one of the most prominent and eligible Asian royal bachelor candidates, owing to his debonair good looks and prodigious upbringing. He is the tenth child and fourth son of Hassanal Bolkiah ibni Omar Ali Saifuddien III, the Sultan and Prime Minister of Brunei.

Additionally, he maintains an active sporting life as a polo player, representing Brunei in 2017 and 2019 respectively at the Southeast Asian Games.
