Who is Prince Mateen?<\/h2>\n

Born in 1991, the Brunei-born Prince Mateen is the tenth child and the fourth son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. Although the prince is sixth in line to the throne, he boasts a substantial following of 2.7 million on Instagram, where he generously shares snippets of his life.<\/p>\n

After completing his schooling in two of the most well-reputed schools in Brunei, Prince Mateen left for his military training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK. Graduating as an officer cadet, he subsequently earned promotions in ranks, reaching the position of second lieutenant. Shortly after the prince went on to get a bachelor’s degree in International Politics from Kings College London and later went on to get a master’s degree in International Studies and Diplomacy from the school School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. His never-ending thirst for knowledge has proven to be a beneficial factor as a working royal.<\/p>\n

But this wasn’t the end of incredible feats, the Brunei royal underwent the rigorous training of being a pilot and was soon after qualified as a helicopter pilot at RAF Shawbury, which earned him his flying brevet from his father. Since then the royal has been seen making many state visits as well as meetings along with his father.<\/p>\n
