The Sultan Of Brunei Strips His Daughter-In-Law's Title

Posted by karenl on August 13, 2026, 10:08 pm

"BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Sultan of Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah today revoked the royal title of "Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Anak Isteri" bestowed upon his daughter-in-law, Pengiran Raabi'atul Adawiyyah Pengiran Haji Bolkiah, with immediate effect.

Pengiran Raabi'atul Adawiyyah is the wife of Prince 'Abdul Malik Hassanal Bolkiah.

The Office of the Grand Chamberlain announced the revocation of Pengiran Raabi'atul Adawiyyah's title. Acting Grand Chamberlain Pengiran Haji Raffizanna Pengiran Haji Razali said the matter was a royal command issued by the sultan.

According to a report by RTB News, the revocation was carried out following conduct by Pengiran Raabi'atul Adawiyyah that was deemed unbecoming of a spouse of a member of the royal family.

Her actions were also found to have tarnished the monarchy's good name and demonstrated a lack of respect towards Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.

The announcement did not specify the conduct in question, nor did it provide further details about the incident."

Okay, so did she have an affair? Get drunk and say bad things about the Sultan? Insult one of his wives? We need more info!

The article stated that in the past the Sultan withdrew titles of his two former wives and divorced them, however, this is his daughter-in-law and no divorce announcement has been issued. The article mentions again, no further info has been given and we don't know if any further explanations will be given. If a divorce announcement pops up, we'll know.

I read somewhere that *her* family had gotten very uppity and "do you know who we are" to vendors and sent all their bills to their daughter and son-in-law.

Oh, that would do it. The Sultan is not one to put up with such behavior and it would be a great embarrassment.
