The daughter of Sultan Abdullah of Pahang, Princess Ilyana married British racing driver Christopher Lionel Froggatt in Kuala Lumpur in two ceremonies surrounded by members of the Malaysian royal family. The wedding took place at the Shangri-La Hotel, with the traditional Akad Nikah ceremony followed by the Majlis Persandingan Diraja ceremony the following day. On this occasion, Princess Ilyana wore two different wedding dresses.
For the first ceremony, Princess Ilyana wore a lace-embroidered, V-neck wedding dress designed by Datuk Radzuan Radziwill. She wore Queen Azizah’s Art Deco Diamond Tiara. Shortly after Princess Azizah married the Crown Prince of Pahang in 1986, the new Crown Princess of Pahang acquired this Art Deco Diamond Tiara, which was created in the 1920s.
For the second ceremony, Princess Ilyana wore Queen Azizah’s Diamond Tiara with an heirloom Diamond Chain. In the early 1990s, the then Crown Princess Azizah acquired this striking antique Diamond Tiara at Wolfers in Brussels. Over the years, Queen Azizah has frequently loaned the tiara to brides in the extended royal family. The groom wore a tengkolok, also known as a tanjak, during the royal ceremony, the traditional Malay male headdress.
