Personal life

Azrinaz was married to Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, at a private ceremony attended by family members and close friends at the Istana Sultan Brunei (Sultan of Brunei's Palace) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The marriage was a heavily guarded secret and was only leaked to the press much later by one of the guests. She became the third wife of the king. She was given the title HRH Princess Consort(Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Paduka Seri Pengiran Isteri) Azrinaz Mazhar. [1] On June 1, 2006, she gave birth to Prince Abdul Wakeel. The pregnancy itself was also kept secret. A 21-cannon salute was fired at the vicinity of the Istana Nurul Iman to celebrate the birth. On January 28, 2008, she gave birth to Princess Ameerah Wardatul Bolkiah. [2] Azrinaz was divorced by the Sultan of Brunei through a special announcement on June 16, 2010. Upon the announcement, her royal title, state decorations and medal of honour were withdrawn, [3] but her children retain their titles.

Azrinaz married for a second time on 1 May 2018, to Fairos Khan Abdul Hamid. Their solemnisation ceremony took place at her house and attended by family members and close friends. [4]
