Some Girls My Life in a Harem

Some Girls My Life in a Harem

One girl's fascinating story about her journey from suburban obscurity to the harem of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, youngest brother of the Sultan of Brunei.

"'Who's Robin?'
Ari explained that with the expectation of the devoutly religious Mohammed, each of the royal brothers- the Sultan, Prince Sufri, and Prince Jefri- had informal Western nicknames that we were to use at all times. We were to call Prince Jefri Robin. It sounds pretty, Sherwood Forest-y, almost feminine: Good Sir Robin. And I His Maid Marian. I was such a dork.
'I called him Jefri once to tease him,' added Serena
'Don't try it,' said Ari."
