Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei and his fiancee Anisha Isa Kalebić are set to tie the knot in a lavish royal wedding next week.
On New Year’s Eve, the 32-year-old son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah shared the first portrait of the couple, just days before their 10-day wedding.
“I wish you all the best in 2024 💫,” Mateen captioned the photo, which shows the couple standing next to each other on what appears to be a balcony. Mateen is a dashing figure in a blue suit, while Anisha smiles next to him in a chic suit with cream pants. She also crossed her arms in front of her, showing off a large diamond engagement ring.

Prince Mateen is the Sultan’s fourth son and tenth child and often accompanies his father on official royal engagements. He attended the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla last May and also joined his father at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in September 2022.
Prince William and Kate Middleton may be present at Mateen’s wedding as the Sultan was a guest at the British royal couple’s wedding in 2011.
