Who is Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei

Prince Abdul Mateen is the tenth child and fourth son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and his former second wife, Mariam Abdul Aziz. He is currently sixth in line of succession to the throne of the oil-rich country.

Prince Mateen married his childhood friend, Anisha Rosnah, in a lavish 10-day celebration in January 2024.

Anisha, 29, although a commoner before her marriage, hails from a distinguished lineage — her grandfather, Pehin Dato Isa, served as an advisor to the Sultan of Brunei and was a prominent government figure during the 1960s and 1970s.

Her brother, Danial Deen Isa-Kalebic, is known to share a close friendship with Prince Mateen.

The Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah is the world’s longest reigning monarch. He comes from a family that has ruled the country for over 600 years. The royal family of Brunei is believed to be one of the world’s richest royal families.
