Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has expelled his daughter-in-law, Pengiran Raabiatul Adawiyyah, from the Royal Family after she allegedly showed “lack of respect” and acted “unbecoming” of royal status. Married to Prince Abdul Malik and mother to four daughters—who retain their titles—the move was confirmed by the Office of the Grand Chamberlain, citing damage to the monarchy’s reputation. While details remain vague, the decision underscores the Sultan’s iron grip on decorum and authority. Known for wielding immense power since 1967—including as Prime Minister and Defense Minister—and facing global scrutiny over strict Sharia punishments, the Sultan continues to navigate complex international relations, recently meeting with King Charles. This expulsion sends a clear message: loyalty and propriety are non-negotiable in Brunei’s royal court.
