The Most Beautiful Princess In Brunei. How Ameerah Lives Today & If She Reunited With Her Mother

Princess Ameerah is the daughter of the Sultan of Brunei — one of the richest monarchs in the world. Although she is only 17, many already call her the most beautiful princess in Brunei. Ameerah grew up surrounded by unimaginable luxury… but her life has never been perfect. From a young age, she was separated from her mother — and the two have never been seen together since. But recently, a photo of Ameerah with her mother went viral, sparking global attention. So, have they really reunited? How does Ameerah live today? And what future awaits her?

To understand Princess Ameerah’s life, we first need to look at her father — Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the absolute ruler of Brunei — and the story of her parents’ marriage. The sultan is one of the richest people in the world, with a fortune estimated at around 50 billion dollars. His wealth comes largely from Brunei’s vast oil and gas reserves, as every inch of the country’s subsoil belongs to him. Beyond his material wealth, the Sultan’s private life has long fascinated the public. He has been married three times. His first and longest-standing wife is Queen Saleha, whom he married in 1965. She is officially recognized as the Queen of Brunei and remains the Sultan’s life partner. The Sultan’s second wife was Mariam Abdul Aziz, a former flight attendant. Their marriage lasted more than twenty years and produced four children. However, Mariam was eventually stripped of her titles and removed from palace life. Then came Azrinaz Mazhar Hakim, a young Malaysian journalist who became the Sultan’s third wife. She was just 25 years old when she married the Sultan in 2005, while he was nearly 60. Azrinaz was a news reporter at TV3, a television station in Malaysia, and her career was considered quite impressive. In 2000, she even won the Most Promising Journalist award. Reports say that Sultan fell in love with her at first sight, captivated by her presence whenever she appeared on television. Their wedding was surprisingly low-key compared to other royal ceremonies in Brunei. In fact, the marriage was initially kept secret, with the palace only announcing it after rumors began to spread. Following the wedding, Azrinaz was granted the title of princess consort and entered what seemed like the most glamorous chapter of her life. However, the reality behind palace walls was more complicated. The relationship between Azrinaz and the Sultan did not reflect the fairy-tale happiness one might expect. In public, the Sultan continued to appear most frequently with his first wife, Queen Saleha, who remained his primary companion and the most respected woman in the palace. On some occasions, he attended formal events with both wives by his side, creating a strained atmosphere that was visible even in photographs. Many speculated that this unusual arrangement caused tension behind palace doors. And as expected, living in the shadow of the first queen was no easy task for Azrinaz. Despite the challenges in the marriage, Azrinaz and the Sultan had two children. Their son, Prince Abdul Wakeel, was born in 2006, followed by Princess Ameerah Wardatul Bolkiah in 2008. For a while, it seemed Azrinaz had secured her place in the royal family. But just two years after Ameerah’s birth, everything changed. In 2010, the Sultan announced his divorce from Azrinaz, citing “special reasons.” Azrinaz not only lost her royal title and privileges but also faced an even more heartbreaking reality: she could no longer live with her children. In Brunei’s royal tradition, children born to the Sultan are raised inside the palace under the care of the royal household. For Azrinaz, this was an unbearable loss. She was separated from her little boy and girl, who were just toddlers at the time. Princess Ameerah was raised under the watchful eye of Queen Saleha, who assumed responsibility for her and her brother. Growing up, Princess Ameerah experienced a life of extraordinary luxury. She had access to the best education, private tutors, and all the comforts of royal life. She also developed a close bond with her brother, Prince Abdul Wakeel, and the two often appeared side by side at official events. Yet, despite all the privilege, she lacked the one thing that mattered most: the presence of her mother. After the divorce, Azrinaz had to rebuild her life. She eventually remarried and had two more children, creating a new family. But she never stopped thinking about Abdul Wakeel and Ameerah. Over the years, she has shared messages and posts on social media, especially on their birthdays, showing her love and care from afar. In one post for her daughter, she wrote: "Seventeen years have passed, yet it feels like it was just yesterday. I’ve endured the ache of missing you all these years, and the longing never gets easier. Watching you grow into the incredible person you are is like seeing a reflection of myself—you are me, and I am you." Through all her hardships, Azrinaz finds comfort knowing that Ameerah holds a royal title and will never lack for anything. As Princess Ameerah grew older, she began attracting public attention for her elegance and beauty. Even in her teenage years, many called her one of the most beautiful princesses in Brunei. Her appearances at official events and public functions often drew admiration, with photos widely shared online. In 2023, she attended a Polo Day charity event with her father and impressed everyone with her sense of style. Many fans also commented on how much she resembled her mother. Azrinaz also shared the photos on her Instagram with a touching message: "Your pictures have gone viral these past few days. Naturally, I’ve been flooded with DMs and tags. Many said that we look alike... your grace and beauty are a little too much to handle." No one can truly imagine the pain Azrinaz feels, watching her children grow only through photographs and public appearances. And for Ameerah, the absence of her mother has been the one shadow in a life otherwise filled with privilege. That is why, when a photo of Ameerah and Azrinaz recently went viral, it captured so much attention. Many believed, if only for a moment, that the long-awaited reunion had finally happened. But soon it was revealed that the pictures were not real — it had been created using artificial intelligence. Still, the emotions it stirred were very real. Azrinaz herself reshared the image on her Instagram story, writing: "Speechless — this beautiful reunion fills my heart. I pray that technology will soon reunite all my children in person." Today, Princess Ameerah is almost 18 years old. Despite the challenges she faced growing up without her mother, she has blossomed into a young woman admired not only for her beauty but also for her intelligence. She currently studies at Jerudong International School, the most prestigious school in Brunei, and in 2023 she even won a mathematics competition, a clear sign of her academic brilliance. With such achievements, it’s very likely that Ameerah will continue her studies at a top university abroad, perhaps in the United Kingdom or the United States, as many members of royal families do. Given her background, education, and royal status, a future role of influence within Brunei seems almost certain. But Ameerah is already stepping into the spotlight. In recent years, she has begun appearing at royal events and official ceremonies, often seen beside her father, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, and her brother, Prince Abdul Wakeel. Yet behind all the attention and luxury, one question remains: will she ever be reunited with her mother? Once Ameerah becomes an adult, the choice will finally be hers. She may no longer be constrained by the rules that kept her apart from Azrinaz during her childhood. And perhaps, when that time comes, the reunion that both mother and daughter have long dreamed of could finally happen. Do you think it will happen one day? Share your thoughts in the comments.
