Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail Petra (Jawi: تڠكو محمد فخري ڤيترا ابن المرحوم سلطان إسماعيل ڤيترا; born 7 April 1978) is the current Tengku Mahkota (Crown Prince) of Kelantan.[3] He is a younger brother of the current Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V.
Early life and education
[edit]Tengku Fakhry was born in Kota Bharu, Kelantan on 7 April 1978 as the third of four children of the 28th Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Ismail Petra and Raja Perempuan Tengku Anis. His two elder brothers are Sultan Muhammad V, the current Sultan of Kelantan and the 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, and Tengku Muhammad Faiz Petra, the former Tengku Mahkota of Kelantan. His younger sister is Tengku Amalin A’ishah Putri, the Tengku Maharani Putri.[4]
Tengku Fakhry began his early education at Sultan Ismail Primary School (1) in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. He continued his studies at United World College in Singapore and then studied A-Levels at Hurtwood House in England. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Westminster, London.[5]
Personal life
[edit]Tengku Fakhry married Manohara Odelia Pinot, an Indonesian model, on 26 August 2008 in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. They met in December 2006 at a dinner attended by the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia at that time, Najib Razak in Jakarta, Indonesia. Manohara filed for divorce in May 2009, alleging that she had endured physical and mental abuse from her husband. Tengku Fakhry denied these claims and his lawyer alleged that she was acting "out of spite" and "motivated by a desire of financial gains". The following year, Malaysia’s high court awarded Tengku Fakhry RM6 million in damages after he filed a defamation suit over allegations of abuse against Manohara and her mother Daisy Fajarina. The scandal received widespread media attention.[6][7][8]
Royal titles
[edit]Tengku Fakhry was previously conferred the title of Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan in March 1997 by his father, Sultan Ismail Petra, but the title was stripped by his brother, Sultan Muhammad V in September 2010.[9][10] In April 2022, Tengku Fakhry was bestowed the title of Tengku Bendahara of Kelantan by his brother, Sultan Muhammad V.[11] In January 2024, he was proclaimed Tengku Mahkota of Kelantan by the Kelantan Royal Succession Council.[12]
