Tengku Anis was born on 6 January 1949 at Palm Manor, Kota Bharu as a daughter of Tengku Abdul Hamid bin Tengku Muda Sulong Abdul Putra (Thai: มานพ พิพิธภักดี; RTGS: Manop Phiphitphakdi) and his wife, Tengku Azizah binti Tengku Sri Maharaja Muhammad Hamzah. Her paternal grandfather, Tengku Abdul Putra, was the eldest son of the last reigning King of Jering, which was then one of the seven states in Southern Siam under Malay rule. Her maternal grandfather, Tengku Muhammad Hamzah, was the last Chief Minister of Kelantan appointed by the Sultan and the first post-independence Menteri Besar.[1]

She received religious education from a personal tutor and completed her formal primary and secondary education at Zainab English School. She was conferred an Honorary Degree doctorate of Philosophy in Human Resources Development from the Ramkhamhaeng University, Thailand on 26 February 2005.

In 1979, Sultan Yahya Petra (at the time King of Malaysia) passed away and Tengku Ismail Petra was installed as the Sultan of Kelantan; subsequently, she was installed as the Raja Perempuan (Queen consort) of Kelantan on 30 March 1979. Her husband, Sultan Ismail Petra, reigned until 13 September 2010, and was succeeded by their eldest son, Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra.[3]

As a queen dowager, she is now styled as "Yang Maha Mulia Raja Perempuan Tengku Anis binti Almarhum Tengku Abdul Hamid".
