Prince Abdul Azim of Brunei

Prince Abdul Azim of Brunei leaves me with a quiet sense of loss. Born into royalty, he could have coasted on his title, yet he studied at Oxford Brookes and pursued his own path as a film producer, activist, and philanthropist. I read that as a person determined to be defined by what he did rather than what he was born into. His death in 2020 at just thirty-eight feels painfully early. I respect anyone who, handed privilege, chooses instead to search for their own voice and to give something back. He tried to leave a mark, and I think that deserves remembering.
