Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II married Princess Rajwa on June 1, 2023. The couple welcomed their daughter, Princess Iman, on August 3, 2024.

Princess Rajwa completed her secondary education in Saudi Arabia before pursuing higher studies at the Syracuse University School of Architecture in New York, United States. She holds a certificate in visual communication from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in the United States.

Safely Given Birth To A Princess

By command of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, the Office of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam announced that Her Royal Highness Pengiran Anak Isteri Anisha Rosnah binti Adam, wife of His Royal Highness Prince ‘Abdul Mateen ibni His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, with the grace of Allah The Almighty, safely delivered a Princess on Sunday, 20 Syaaban 1447, corresponding to February 8, 2026, at 8.50 in the morning. Following the birth, a 17-gun salute was fired at the grounds of Istana Nurul Iman.

What happen's next?

So far everything has been the same as the Sultan's other grandchildren's births — They officially announced that the baby was born and shot off some cannons.

If they continue to follow the same pattern we should get the baby's name and a photo of her laying on a gold cloth in about a week. There's no set time for this. Sometimes it's less than a week but sometimes it's over a month.

Here's what the picture will look like. On the left is Fadzilah and Abdullah's daughter, Daniya Rahmatul Bolkiah, who was born on 2 October 2024. On the right is Malik and Raabi'atul's youngest daughter, Nabeelah Najmul Bolqiah, who was born on 9 April 2025.

The baby will have the style of Yang Amat Mulia and the title of Pengiran Anak. This is the same as all of the Sultan's other grandchildren. She will probably have two given names plus Bolkiah/Bolqiah/Bulqiah. I have no idea why different members of the family spell it differently. In the Sultan's generation all of the boy's names ended in Bolkiah but in his children's generation all of the girl's name ended in it. The tradition seems to be continuing on with the girls because all of his granddaughter's also end in a form of the name.

The first given name will probably be something that will be easy to use internationally and the Sultan's children and grandchildren usually have Arabic origin first names. Then the second name will probably end in the letters 'ul' because they always do for some reason. So the baby's name will be...

Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Anak ________ ______ul Bolkiah binti Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Paduka Seri Pengiran Muda 'Abdul Mateen

After that I wouldn't be surprised if Mateen posted some pictures of the baby on IG with or without her parents probably taken by Muash Rosman like Fadzilah did.

Finally there will be a Kesyukuran Ceremony which is a service of thanksgiving for the baby and mother. They will recite prayers and shoot off some more cannons. Again there is no set time for this but probably a couple of months after the birth.

It is part of the larger Istiadat Bersiram aka royal bathing ceremony but the rest is not usually public. The mother and baby will be sprinkled with scented water and flower petals. It's supposed to formally mark the end of the mother's confinement but that doesn't necessarily mean that Anisha has to stay out of the public until then.

And that's all I know.
