The Prince and Princess of Wales may be among the attendees at a royal wedding in the New Year.

On Sunday, The Sultan of Brunei announced that his son, Prince Abdul Mateen, will marry Anisha Isa Kalebic in January 2024.

Prince Abdul Mateen, 32, is the son of The Sultan and his former second wife Hajah Miriam Abdul Aziz. 

He is the youngest of three siblings to get married, following his two older sisters Princess Fadzilah and Princess Azemah, who tied the knot in January 2022 and January 2023 respectively.

‘By the royal command of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah of Brunei Darussalam, the palace has announced the upcoming wedding of His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen and Anisha Isa Kalebic will be held from 7 to 16 January 2024,’ read an official announcement.

The celebration, which will spread over nine days, will start with the proposal of marriage ceremony to receive the Royal Command, followed by performances from royal court musicians to officially mark the beginning of the wedding.

The matrimony will be solemnised at the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque on January 11.

After this, the royal wedding reception will be held, featuring an opulent banquet attended by guests from across the globe. 

While it has not yet been confirmed, it seems likely that the Prince and Princess of Wales will attend Prince Abdul Mateen and Anisha Isa Kalebic’s nuptials. 

The Sultan and Queen of Brunei were notable guests at the wedding of William and Kate in 2011. Given this history, it’s probable that they will extend an invitation to the British royals for their son’s special day. 

Furthermore, both couples attended the wedding of Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Rajwa Alseif in June.

Kate, 41, looked typically stylish in a stunning Elie Saab custom gown, which featured long sleeves, a ruffled high neckline and intricate detailing on the bodice.

When seen on the catwalk as part of the Lebanese fashion designer’s Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection, the dusty pink dress incorporated sheer panels on the skirt and bodice. However, the Kate’s was altered to remove these see-through elements.

She teamed the statement frock with her trusty Wilbur & Gussie ‘Charlie’ clutch and ​Prada scalloped sandals.

The Princess completed her show-stopping look with a pair of dazzling pink morganite and diamond earrings. 

Prince William, equally sophisticated, opted for a navy suit, crisp white shirt and light blue tie.

For the evening reception, Kate changed into a glittering Jenny Packham gown, accessorising with the late Queen’s sparkling Greville Chandelier earrings and Princess Diana’s Lover’s Knot tiara.

Meanwhile, William looked suave in a black tailcoat suit, with a white bow tie. 

It was recently confirmed that Kate will not be joining Prince William for the Earthshot Prize next month as she is helping George prepare for exams.

Kate will not travel to Singapore with her husband in November and instead stay with her eldest son George and his siblings Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, at the family residence in Windsor.

George, who is in Year 6 at the Lambrook School in Berkshire, will sit Key Stage 2 SATs this year.

The Prince and Princess’ children joined the co-educational private school, near Ascot in Berkshire, after the couple set up a new home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor’s Home Park.

William and Kate set their hearts on the outdoorsy preparatory school, with 52 acres of grounds, for their youngsters, where fees will cost them in excess of £50,000 a year and pupils are given ‘feathers to fly’ and a ‘delicious sense of freedom’.

The co-educational independent day and boarding school for three to 13-year-olds is just a 10-minute drive from their home – and offers ‘first-class teaching and superb facilities’, which include a 25-metre swimming pool, nine-hole golf course, squash court, cricket and other sports pitches.
