Princess Ilyana and Christopher Lionel Froggatt tied the knot in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend

Tengku Puteri Ilyana Alia of Malaysia and her partner, Christopher Lionel Froggatt, wed over the weekend at the Shangri-La hotel in Kuala Lumpur. The bride, Princess Ilyana, 29, is the daughter of a former Malaysian king, Sultan Abdullah, and Julia Rais, a former actress.

The groom, Christopher Froggatt, 32, is a British racing driver who competes in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. Per his official bio on Tempestra racing, “A childhood love of cars, riding quad bikes and motocross from a young age all fuelled his fascination with speed, and his unfashionably late arrival on the car racing scene at 24 years of age. But it was an exploratory Ferrari high performance driving event at the Ferrari test track at Fiorano, Italy as a guest of a close friend, that proved to be the turning point for Chris and his journey to the starting grid of international motor racing.”

For her wedding, she wore Queen Azizah’s Diamond Tiara, a dramatic heirloom piece and a Radzuan Radziwill gown.

According to the Kesultanan Pahang’s official Facebook page, those guests in attendance included the Crown Prince of Pahang, Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah, along with members of the Pahang Royal Household. Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, the Chief Minister of Pahang. Sheik Mohammed bin Hamad bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates were also there.

The Malaysian throne rotates between nine hereditary royal families; every five years, the Conference of Rulers elects one of the nine state rulers to serve as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia). Princess Ilyana’s father, Sultan Abdullah (the sixth Sultan of Pahang, one of the nine royal states), served as king from 2019 to 2024.
