Prince William and Kate Middleton could be on the guest list for a royal wedding in the New Year – in Brunei
The Prince and Princess of Wales may be among those attending 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 married siblings, after his two older sisters Princess Fadzilah and Princess Azemah, who tied the knot in January 2022 and January 2023 respectively.
‘Through the royal order of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah of Brunei Darussalam, the palace has announced that 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 span nine days, will begin with the proposal of marriage ceremony to receive the royal warrant, followed by performances from royal court musicians to officially mark the start of the wedding.
The marriage will be celebrated on January 11 at the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque.
After this, the royal wedding reception will be held, with a lavish banquet attended by guests from all over the world.
Although not yet confirmed, it seems likely that the Prince and Princess of Wales will attend Prince Abdul Mateen and Anisha Isa Kalebic’s wedding.
The Sultan and Queen of Brunei were notable guests at the wedding of William and Kate in 2011. Given this history, it is likely 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 tailored dress, featuring long sleeves, a ruffled high neckline and intricate detailing on the bodice.
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 have been modified to remove these translucent elements.

She teamed the statement dress with her trusty Wilbur & Gussie ‘Charlie’ clutch and Prada scalloped sandals.
The Princess completed her striking look with a pair of dazzling pink morganite and diamond earrings.
Prince William, equally sophisticated, chose a dark blue suit, crisp white shirt and light blue tie.
For the evening reception, Kate changed into a glittering Jenny Packham dress, accessorized 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 helps George prepare for exams.

Kate will not travel to Singapore with her husband in November, instead staying with her eldest son George and his siblings Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, at the family home in Windsor.
George, who is in Year 6 at Lambrook School in Berkshire, will be sitting 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 have set their hearts on the outdoor prep school, with 52 acres of land, for their youngsters, where fees will cost them more than £50,000 a year and pupils will be given ‘feathers to fly’ and a ‘lovely 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 25m swimming pool, nine. -hole golf course, squash court, cricket and other sports fields.
