Brokenhearted Over Prince Mateen? Check Out These Gorgeous Members of The Brunei Royal Family Instead
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably aware of the fact that Brunei’s Prince Mateen, once dubbed ‘Asia’s Most Eligible Bachelor’ has tied the knot with his beautiful bride, Anisha Rosnah Isa Kalebic (Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Anak Isteri Anisha Rosnah), granddaughter of one of the Sultan’s special advisors.
With his chiselled body, dashing good looks, and dad’s net worth of $US30 billion (approximately RM140.6 billion), Prince Mateen has a legion of adoring fans with 2.7M followers on Instagram.

Naturally, his wife is drop-dead gorgeous as well, being half Croatian. A graduate of the University of Bath, she is also the owner of fashion label Silk Collective and a co-founder of Authentirary, a travel agency that provides cultural experiences across many countries. They seem like a match made in heaven and their love story seems like something out of a Disney movie, but it seems like Brunei is full of gorgeous people.
Who are we talking about? Read on to find out more:

Prince Jefri Bolkiah is the younger brother of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah. He has been embroiled in embezzlement charges and was the former finance minister of the country. Prince Jefri has been married 6 times, divorced 4 wives, and has 19 (yes, count‘em) children.
One of his daughters is the stunning half-Filipina Karraminah, the face of J.Cat Beauty makeup line, and a fashion degree holder from London. She is the cousin to Prince Mateen, and this was her at his wedding:

It seems that good genes run in the family because the sister of Karraminah, Samantha is also sizzling hot. The 36-year-old was born in Brunei, moved to LA and then London and now resides in the Philippines. She is a Filipino actress and was also formerly a fashion designer who owned her eponymous label. As of last year, she was engaged to former Filipino football player Anton del Rosario and has a son, Myles Richelle.

Prince Abdul Wakeel Bolkiah

He is the eleventh son of the Sultan and half-brother to Prince Mateen. Born in 2006, he turns 18 this year and just might take over his brother’s title of Asia’s Most Eligible Bachelor in the future with his height and cute smile. He is known to be a sportsman like his brother.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have an official Instagram page.
Prince Faiq Bolkiah

You may think that Lionel Messi or Christiano Ronaldo may be the richest football player in the world, but that title goes to Faiq Bolkiah, son of Prince Jefri with a net worth of $20 billion (RM93.7 billion) while Messi trails far behind with only $600 million (RM2.8 billion).
Born in 1998, he is Bruneian-American and was raised in L.A. He stands at 175cm and naturally has a ripped body as an athlete. Prince Mateen’s cousin currently plays as a winger for Ratchaburi in Thai League 1 and formerly served as captain of the Brunei National team.

Although he’s not technically a member of the royal family, he has been the best friend of Prince Mateen since childhood and brother to Anisha. Danial and the prince frequently play football together. Sadly for the ladies, he got engaged last year.

If all of Brunei’s citizens are this good-looking, we might consider moving there already!
