And if the monarch managed to divorce his second and third wives, depriving them of palace benefits, then the first and main wife-relative Saleh is always with him.

The education of their first-born was long and thorough: His Royal Majesty graduated from universities in Brunei and Oxford, and additionally studied the Koran and the basics of diplomacy. Al-Muhtadi is not a secular person and does not enjoy much attention from the paparazzi, but he is busy with business: he heads the cabinet of ministers of Brunei. In 2004, photographs from the prince’s luxurious wedding with a 17-year-old commoner named Sarah spread around the world. Princes, kings and sultans of neighboring states gathered for the celebration.
