Queen Azizah Aminah. The sweetest and most adored Queen of Malaysia
and the younger sister of the new King, Sultan Ibrahim. There were many tragedies in her destiny,
but she and her husband together were able to overcome all the trials and keep their
love. She dedicated her life to her people and her
family. How did she win the love of her subjects? What tragedies almost destroyed her marriage? And why did she cry at night for years? Watch the video to the end to find out! Let's get started! Azizah Aminah was born in August 1960 into
the royal family of the Sultanate of Johor, Malaysia. She is the daughter of Sultan Iskandar and
his first wife, Englishwoman Josephine Ruby Trevorrow. Her older brother is Sultan Ibrahim, the new
King of Malaysia. Princess Aziza graduated from the best school
in Johor and then from a teacher training college. Later, the girl received higher education
at the National University of Singapore, becoming a graduate sociologist. But the most important event in her life happened
at the age of 12, when she met her future husband, the young Prince Abdullah of the
Sultanate of Pahang. He was visiting the royal family of Johor
with members of his family. Azizah was introduced to the prince, who was
only a year older than her. Of course, at that age, there could only be
childish friendship between the little aristocrats. But even then, according to the princess herself,
she felt something unusual in her soul. In those days, there was no Internet or messengers,
so the children began writing touching paper letters to each other. As they approached adulthood, the messages
became more like love letters, but Azizah and Abdullah were strictly forbidden to meet. The princess's father believed his daughter
should have an impeccable reputation. No dating, no going to the movies. She must be an example to her subjects in
everything, especially in her behavior. In addition to forbidding meetings, the Sultan
also scrutinized Azizah and Abdullah's letters. The strict father made sure there was nothing
unworthy in them. According to Azizah, she still keeps the letters
the prince sent her. During their long years of correspondence,
Abdullah received an excellent education in Malaysia and Britain, including the Royal
Military Academy Sandhurst and Oxford. The lovers' relationship was limited to letters
only, but they were helped by Azizah's kind grandfather Sultan Ismail. He loved his granddaughter very much and saw
how she suffered from the impossibility of meeting her beloved. The sultan went on a trick. Knowing that Abdullah was an excellent polo
player, he organized a polo tournament in Johor. Of course, the prince came to the neighboring
kingdom in the team of his native Pahang. After the game, the princess finally got to
meet the prince. At that moment, the young people finally realized
that they were made for each other. Although the young couple's relationship was
kept within restrictions, their royal families looked forward to this marriage. In addition to their tender feelings for each
other, Princess Azizah and Crown Prince Abdullah were a good match politically. Their wedding took place in 1986, 13 years
after they met. Such a long wait was rewarded with a lavish
ceremony that lasted several days. First of all, the newlyweds were united in
marriage according to the Muslim rite. This took place in the main mosque of the
sultanate's capital, Johor Baru. Then, at the palace of the rulers of the Kingdom
of Johor, the traditional Malaysian prayer water ceremony took place. Abdullah placed a rattan ring on the bride's
finger, and the bride kissed his hand in gratitude. The groom then solemnly said "indeed" three
times, and the bride smiled modestly in agreement. Then Abdullah and Azizah were finally married. At the reception, the newlyweds cut a huge
cake, and the whole kingdom began to celebrate the momentous occasion. The newlyweds were wished happiness, wealth
and, of course, many children. Everyone was convinced that it would be so,
and that a cloudless future awaited them. If only they knew how wrong they were! As it turned out, Princess Azizah had a female
condition that made pregnancy and childbirth difficult. The problem quickly manifested itself when
the newlyweds decided to have a baby right after their wedding. The doctors honestly said that even with advanced
treatment, Azizah would not be able to become a mother. Abdullah was being persuaded to divorce his
infertile wife, or at least to take a second wife capable of producing an heir to the throne. The prince refused these suggestions. For almost five years, he supported his wife
in every way possible in her infertility treatment. In 1990 a miracle happened. The princess became pregnant and gave birth
to her firstborn, who was named Ahmad. But Azizah's joy at the child's birth was
soon replaced by a deep depression. Without living a day, the boy died because
he was born very weak. After that, the couple's relationship began
to break down, which is not uncommon for couples who have lost a child. Abdullah began to court and then married Malaysian
actress Julia Abdul Rais. She officially became his second wife. She was at the height of her popularity in
the Malaysian film industry at the time, but immediately after their marriage, she ended
her acting career. Just a year after her marriage, she gave birth
to a daughter, and then two more girls. Princess Azizah had a hard time with this
situation, but decided not to give up. The 1990s saw a wave of discoveries in in
vitro fertilization. This was Azizah's last hope. The princess underwent 16 IVF procedures in
the world's leading clinics, from Singapore to the United States and Britain. During this time, she had 6 miscarriages and
it seemed that all the doctors' efforts were in vain. According to Azizah's memories, after each
unsuccessful treatment, she returned home and was crying. But the seventeenth attempt at IVF was successful. In 1995, Azizah gave birth to a perfectly
healthy baby boy who was named Hassanal Ibrahim. He was given the status of crown prince, and
the princess fulfilled her destiny. Encouraged by this event, the couple decided
not to rest on their laurels. Azizah and Abdullah went on to have five more
children - three sons and two daughters. The princess also helped raise her husband's
children by his second actress wife. In addition to these nine children, there
is also an adopted son. The one-year-old baby was taken into the family
even before the firstborn was born. Recently, the Internet broke the news that
Queen Azizah had expressed her desire to adopt a two-year-old girl suffering from werewolf
syndrome. She was born with hair on her face and body,
and was ridiculed by other children and neighbors. Her parents had no money for their daughter's
treatment, so the queen made them happy. For sincerely helping people, Azizah Aminah
was given the people's title of Queen of Malaysian Hearts. And in January 2019, she officially became
the Queen of all Malaysia. On January 15, Prince Abdullah became Sultan
of his state of Pahang after his father abdicated due to illness. But he didn't have time to reign there, because
just 2 weeks later he was rushed to be elected King of all Malaysia. The previous king of Malaysia, Muhammad V,
abdicated early due to his scandalous marriage to Russian beauty queen Oksana Voyevodina. Azizah Aminah has always actively assisted
her husband in running the country, overseeing medical and cultural affairs. Azizah's memories of the difficulties of conceiving
children inspired her to create the Fertility Foundation to help women who had gone through
the same ordeal as she had. Thanks to this fund, hundreds of women who
had no money for paid treatment have been able to experience the joy of motherhood. Children born thanks to the Tunku Azizah Foundation
are fondly referred to as Her Majesty's grandchildren. Apart from her foundation and various patronages,
Queen Azizah is famous for her ability to cook various dishes. At the age of 5, she started going to the
royal kitchen under the supervision of her nanny. Her love for cooking led her to write three
books of traditional Malaysian recipes collected from all over the country. Proceeds from the sales of the cookbooks were
donated to her Fertility Foundation. In January 2024, Abdullah's reign as king
of Malaysia ended. He was succeeded by Azizah's own brother,
Sultan Ibrahim, the ruler of Johor. His sister could not hide her tears of joy
when his accession to the throne was announced. Incidentally, King Abdullah and Queen Azizah
attended the lavish wedding of Brunei's Prince Abdul Mateen and Anisha Isa Calebic, which
was their last overseas trip as Malaysian heads of state. The couple have returned to their home kingdom
of Pahang and are busy running the Sultanate for the benefit of their subjects. Abdullah and Azizah recently celebrated their
37th wedding anniversary. Jokingly, they went through the same rituals
as in the distant 1986. As he did then, the Sultan said "indeed" three
times, and his beloved wife smiled at him with happiness in her eyes. What do you think about the fate of this royal
