Thanks for the excert from the website. I'm also glad that Princess Azemah hit back at those with discontented mouthes. Also she rightly pointed out, indeed there are those whom are born to royal rank and privilage but no institution is as resiliant and nor adaptable then they.
Moreover she highlight the fact that she and her siblings are indeed human and suffered the most from a difficult time in their life and those wanting to sensationalise the event for their own ends. I'm so glad she robbed them of that joy.
Again, many thanks for the article

So here's an article with some quotes from Princess Azemah's entry on HYS, I found at http://www.gossipmagazine.com/Manage...sp?C=140&A=216
Princess' Letter Over Divorce Touches Hearts Of Bruneians
February 10, 2003
The princess, one of four children from the Brunei ruler's second marriage to Ms. Mariam Abdul Aziz, also expressed the agony she and her siblings were going through because of the breakup of the royal marriage.
Taking direct aim at the rumour-mongers on the Internet, the princess wrote: 'We can take your views but those cruel and heartless comments are tearing me and my brother (Mateen) apart because you are talking about our parents.'
'This was actually a private matter that has been mismanaged, abused and taken advantage of, and the fact that you think you know better only shows how ignorant you all are,' the princess added in her report on the Internet.
She went on to say that this 'has been one of the best smear campaigns in history and I wish to thank all of you for your heartless comments'. Her father, the 56-year-old Brunei ruler, divorced her mother after more then 20 years of marriage according to Islamic rites on Sunday.
According to the website, Brunei has been rife with gossip that all was not well with the marriage for more than three months. News of the divorce brought on a flood of comments. But Pengiran Azemah's retort in Brudirect found a quick and sympathetic response in the Brunei public.
One person wrote to the website: 'I share your sadness. Just to let you know, not all people are heartless and cruel. I am one of the many who have my sincere sympathy. There are still many who care. You and your brother are still very young. Be strong. Life must go on.'
