Royal Family of Brunei Current Events 1: July 2005-August 2006

[Zina]

The new wife was on the local news the other night. She looked ever so plain and ordinary! As the wife of a Sultan you would think she'd make some effort. Her clothes looked like she'd bought them from the local supermarket, her hair was straggly and face devoid of any makeup. As she passed the camera she looked down at the floor, as if ashamed. No poise in her walk either. For a newsreader/journalist, you'd think she'd have some public posture.

Her name's Amina (I think I got the spelling right)
She's the wife of Wudood, the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei (ie. the son of the sultan's sister Princess Masna)

Thanks,Humera. :)

[Dang Ayah]

Her full name's Dayangku Seti Aminah Binti Pengiran Othman. She's got the "Dayangku" title just like Sarah did before marrying the Crown Prince. But now Mena (Aminah's nickname) changed her title to Pengiran Seti Aminah. This is what Dayangku's usually do after marrying another Pengiran and an Awangku (for males) would also change to Pengiran after marriage (regardless of having a dayangku or a commoner as a wife). But I also see dayangku's changing to Pengiran even if they marry commoners(meaning people with no royal titles!).

P/s: nice to be back. Been busy with University application...

[Humera]

thanx for answering alfie and nice to see you back:)
So basically the children of the Sultan's brothers have the title of Prince and Princess but not the children of the Sultan's sisters?
That seems to be the rule for most other royal families as well.

Faye Dunaway, 64, went to dinner at London's Nobu with the Sultan of Brunei's 22-year-old son, Prince Azim. They left the restaurant holding hands ... Now I guess he is financing her new movie, so who knows.

[michelleq]

They have been to many functions together, supposedly as a "couple". Now my question is, a couple of what???

[Humera]

I dont think they're a couple. I've seen many pics of them together, at Prince Azim's birthdays and other events. At Live 8 Prince Azim was photographed with Faye Dunaway and her son. Azim also has had a longtime crush on Jerry Hall and he once bought her a diamond bracelet. Since then she has been out with him at movie premiers etc.
Azim's friends with lots of celebs like that. But I doubt he's romantically involved with any.

[Humera]

Here are the pics, from Brunopress

Actress Faye Dunaway and Sultan Of Brunei's son on a nightout at the exclusive Nobu restaurant in Mayfair, London. UK 21/06/05

There are similar pics of Prince Azim with other celebs like Jerry Hall.

What is with older woman & younger men fad? I mean if they are a couple (not saying they are) & they make each other happy then that is great. The age difference (espec. w/ these two) is a little eww (No offense). She could be his mother (I shuddered at the thought). Maybe he is friends with her son.
No offense to anyone I hope

[Reina]

I hav eno trouble saying this:if they are going out with each other yuck, yuck, yuck. I think ppl should keep in mind age differneces no matter who is the older one-male or female. Sometimes a line has to be drawn. And I do mean to offend (but no offense to ppl who don't mean offense).:)

But personally I think that they are great friends. If that is the case I am glad they enjoy each others company like they do. Friendships should cross age barriers.

[Humera]

obviously people who aren't familiar with Prince Azim are jumping to conclusions. I see pics like this in the british press all the time and no one says they're going out.
Prince Azim lives most of year with his mom and sisters in London and he, and his two sisters, socialize with celebs all the time. Faye Dunaway and Jerry Hall are regularly seen with them and they were at his last birthday party. There's even a picture of Faye with his mom, the former Princess, Mariam.

Thanks for the updates people!

[Zina]

Somebody gave me this link to Prince Azim's blog. www.mighty-snivel.blogspot.com

He includes pictures and postings of his day-to-day life in London.

[Humera]

you mean local news in Malaysia? was it at some public event? I thought she was in the US with the Sultan.
btw..i didnt think she was particularly good looking from the pictures I've seen of her. Im sure though that the sultan will soon have her decked out in the best jewels and clothes, if he hasnt already.

The local Brunei news. Sunday night I think. It should be in the Radio Brunei archives somewhere..possibly dated on the 19th.
