Malaysia’s Kelantan palace has condemned the dissemination of “personal photos” and comments of the former king, Sultan Muhammad V, on social media.

The rebuke comes days after his former Russian wife Oksana Voevodina posted photos of their life together on her Instagram account. The latest picture showed the pair having a candlelight dinner.

“The Kelantan palace is deeply upset and condemns the dissemination of private pictures of His Royal Highness Sultan Muhammad V on social media and all inappropriate postings on His Royal Highness personal and private matters on social media,” said the royal comptroller of the Kelantan palace, Nik Mohd Shafriman Nik Hassan, in a statement on Friday, without mentioning any names.

“The Kelantan palace strongly denies any and all comments that are untrue and defamatory that were posted along with the pictures,” the statement added.

In the latest post, the former Miss Moscow recounted that Muhammad V told her that “women always used him for money” and that is why nobody gave him any babies.
