His uncle earned himself an unwanted reputation as a billionaire international playboy as a result of his lavish parties and wild excesses.
Now Prince Azim of Brunei has shown he is no slouch at entertaining either after hosting what is being hailed as the party of the year.
A joint birthday bash for the 26-year-old Prince and three of his siblings had it all: Hollywood stars, celebrity singers, one of England's finest stately homes and 6,000 white roses.
According to the local florist, the bill for flowers alone came to £70,000 – a claim disputed by aides to the Brunei Royal family.
What is not in dispute, however, is the A-list celebrities who came last weekend to Stapleford Park country house hotel in Leicestershire, which is owned by Prince Azim's mother, Mariam Aziz, the former wife of the billionaire Sultan of Brunei.
Neither singer performed at the dinner dance, which was attended by some 230 guests. That role was left to Chaka Khan, the American singer songwriter, and Incognito, the British jazz, funk and soul band.
Younger members of the Hollywood set were also present at the party, including actors Adam Gregory, Robert Buckley and Sean Faris. "Adam Gregory was particularly popular with the some of the girls," said one source.
Vass, a Nottingham florist, said last week that 12 staff had been needed to prepare and deliver the £70,000 worth of flowers – its largest ever order – for the event. It said the order was for 6,000 white roses, as well as hundreds of pink and red roses with mint, white peonies, purple delphiniums and hydrangeas. "Everyone was walking around in their finery," said Keith Murphy, who runs the florist.
