Tunku Abdul Jalil was the fourth child of the current Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) of Malaysia and Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim and his consort Raja Zarith Sofiah. He was the fourth grandson of the previous Sultan of Johor, Sultan Iskandar and the previous Sultan of Perak, Sultan Idris Shah II.

He received President Development Award from the International Sailing Federation (ISAF; now known as World Sailing) in 2014.[4]
