He got married to his childhood friend, Anisha Rosnah, in a grand 10-day wedding celebration in January 2024. Before her royal marriage, Anisha, 29, belonged to a high-profile family. Her grandfather, Pehin Dato Isa, was a trusted advisor to the Sultan and a prominent government official during the 60s and 70s. Her brother, Danial Deen Isa-Kalebic, is also known to share a close friendship with the prince.
