TIARA ALERT: Anisha Isa Kalebic wore a diamond tiara for her wedding to Prince Mateen of Brunei at Istana Nurul Iman in Bandar Seri Begawan on 14 January 2024.
Princess Anisha's shadow while volunteering at the Social Kitchen was a little boy named Mateen. At the end of the day she called her husband so that little Mateen could talk to Prince Mateen. I don't speak Malay but according to other people on social media Prince Mateen asked what they were cooking and little Mateen responded that he didn't cook. He said that he was with his mom and Princess Anisha so Prince Mateen teased him by asking if he was lazy. Then Prince Mateen asked if Princess Anisha was being lazy with him and little Mateen said no she cut the chicken earlier.
You did least favourite tiara, what about favourite tiaras?
Great idea! I think I'll prick my favourite tiaras from each country, and no commentary just so that this post doesn't ramble forever and ever. Just know that these are the ones that I like for either aesthetic or historical purposes. I'd say the best collections go to the British, Swedish, and Spanish in that order. Out of the fake monarchies Greece has some bangers in there:
Belgium 🇧🇪 - Queen Astrid of Belgium's Nine Provinces Tiara (as a bandeau)
Brunei 🇧🇳 - Anisha Isa Kalebic's Diamond Tiara
Denmark 🇩🇰 - Princess Louise of the Netherlands' Pearl Poiré Tiara
Egypt 🇪🇬 - Queen Nazli of Egypt’s Diamond Tiara
France 🇫🇷 - Empress Josephine’s Cameo Tiara (it's in the Swedish vault but it's French in every other way)
Germany 🇩🇪 - The Prussian tiara (it's of German origin but is currently with the Spanish due to royal intermarrying)
Greece 🇬🇷 - Khedive of Egypt Tiara
Italy 🇮🇹 - Queen Margherita of Italy's Pearl & Diamond Tiara

TIARA ALERT: Anisha Isa Kalebic wore Queen Saleha’s Diamond Tiara for the banquet following her wedding to Prince Mateen of Brunei at Istana Nurul Iman in Bandar Seri Begawan on 15 January 2024.
The wedding celebrations of Prince Abdul Mateen Bolkiah and Anisha Rosnah Isa binti Adam Kalebic have started in Brunei. I still haven't gotten a very clear picture of her engagement ring yet but it is a very large diamond.
Here is the full schedule. The events on the 14th and 15th should be when the bride wears a tiara. I'm going to put links to videos and articles inline with each event even if they don't include the bride and groom. The ceremonies are still interesting to watch.

The first event was the Majlis Khatam Al-Quran where Anisha read the Quran. It's wasn't broadcast like some of the later events will be but someone in attendance posted a clip if you want to watch. Her dress is a Baju Kurung made of Tenunan Brunei fabric by Teh Firdaus.
Then Anisha wore another dress by Teh Firdaus for the Berbedak Mandi after the public ceremonial events on the 9th. The bride and groom weren't seen during the first two parts where the official betrothal gifts were presented but she is looking at the gifts in the photos. I noticed diamond earrings, a ring that looks like it's from Chaumet's Josephine Aigrette collection, a necklace with a large colored stone (maybe sapphire) pendant, a Patek Philippe watch, and a big diamond feather amongst the gifts.
On the 10th was the Majlis Istiadat Berbedak Pengantin Diraja or Royal Powdering Ceremony when the couples' family applies colored paste and scented oils to their hands. It's my favorite part of Bruneian royal weddings because of the beautiful outfit worn by the bride. It looks like Anisha used the same gold jewelry as Mateen's sisters except for the belt. She also wore the same diamond earrings that Princess Fadzillah and Princess Azemah wore for their powdering ceremonies.
The Akad Nikah was next which is when the couple are officially married. On the left is Prince Mateen at the Berbedak and on the right is him at the Akad Nikah.
The Majlis Bersanding Pengantin Diraja and parade on the 14th finally brings us the first tiara! The now Princess Anisha wore some major diamonds and a simple dress made of a beautiful woven patterned fabric. We got new information about the tiara that was first worn last year by Princess Azemah. It was made by Singapore based jeweler, Flower Diamond, and features over 132 carats of diamonds.
The Majlis Persantapan Diraja on the 15th is the last big event. It's a massive banquet at Istana Nurul Iman with around 5,000 guests. Princess Anisha wore Queen Saleha's Diamond Tiara which has been worn by several of her new sisters-in-law for their wedding celebrations. She did not use the optional heart diamond center but did use the blue and pink diamond toppers.
Week of 1 April 2024 | Princess Anisha and Prince Mateen went on a pilgrimage to Al-Masjid An-Nabawi/The Prophet's Mosque in Medina and Masjid al-Haram/The Sacred Mosque in Mecca. Along with them were members of both her and Mateen's family including Mariam Abdul Aziz, Princess Azemah, Prince Bahar, Mariam Isa, and Danial Isa Kalebic.
17 March 2024 | Princess Anisha volunteered at the Society for Community Outreach & Training’s Social Kitchen Initiative. SCOT is an NGO dedicated to finding sustainable ways to alleviate poverty. The kitchen employs single mothers and delivers iftar meals to socio-economically challenged families during Ramadan.
