Prince Abdul Mateen seems the rising star within the family.

Is the girl in the Instagram wave picture the sultan's youngest daughter princess Ameerah Wardatul?

Edit: after checking a previous farewell ceremony I am positive that it is indeed his youngest daughter. At what age is she supposed to start wearing a headscarf and long skirts and sleeves? Especially in the ladies' waving picture she stands out in her western clothing.

Nice colour coding at the dinner. They were apparently given the option of wearing either yellow or red.

Queen Saleha on Wednesday evening graced the Majlis Berbedak or powdering ceremony of Muhammad Abdul, the son of Princess Hajah Amal Jefriah, sister of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. The ceremony was one of the events held in the run up to the weddingin Sunday of Muhammad Abdul.

As I had no idea who these family members were, I looked it up: apparently the groom is one of the younger nephews of the king (the eldest son of his youngest sister). The ceremony was attended by quite a few non-core royal family members, see this article.
