How to wed a princess?
Ever wondered how to wed a princess? I have the answer - with a two week ceremony attended by 2000 guests in a 1,788 room palace!
The daughter of Brunei's wealthy Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah ("The Sultan of Brunei") got married last week. She exchanged vows with her 32 year old groom, Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Anak Khairul Khalil (or Khairul Khalil, for short), on Thursday.
Khairul Khalil has married into one of the wealthiest families in the world. In 1997, The Sultan, head of the tiny oil-rich state of Brunei, was reportedly the richest man in the World, worth some $40bn.
Despite her father's wealth, Her Royal Highness Hajah Majeedah Nuurul Bulqiah actually works - she's Senior Environment Officer and Head of Planning and Management Division at the Department of the Environment, Parks and Recreation. She also benefited from a vocational education. The princess collected a BA (Hons) Administration and Public Policy from the University of Brunei Darussalam and an MA in Environmental Development from the King’s College, London.
So, a real princess with an exceedingly wealthy father, educated at a top UK university... you would expect this Khairul Khalil to be a fairly impressive character too, wouldn't you? Well, thankfully, he holds a BTEC Higher National Diploma in Building Studies (?) from the...erm ...University of Teesside (?!) and is currently the Assistant Executive Officer at the Prime Minister's Office.
Chaps, there's hope for us all yet!
