LONDON - Even as a young girl, Princess Munji Atirah has been closely following the teleseryes and other programs of ABS-CBN through The Filipino Channel or TFC.

Munji is the niece of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, King and Prime Minister of Brunei, who is listed in the Forbes magazine as one of the richest in the world.

A graduate of philosophy, Princess Munji is pursuing a Masteral Degree in media communication at a London university.

Despite the royal bloodline, Munji remains down to earth and her simple dream is to visit Manila soon and take up acting lessons with ABS-CBN.

Princess Munji grew up under the guidance of her Filipino nanny, Muriel Mallorca, a native of Iloilo.

Nana Muriel has been with the Royal Family for more than 20 years. She is the close-in companion to the princess, on call 24 hours a day.

Nana Muriel admitted she never trained nor encourage her ward to speak Tagalog.

Last April, Princess Munji had a chance to meet personally ABS-CBN's Chief Executive Officer Gabby Lopez in Central London.

Chairman Lopez invited the princess to visit Manila.

Among the local artists, Munji's favorites are Sam Milby, Jericho Rosales, Anne Curtis and KC Concepcion.

During the exclusive interview, Princess Munji also shared her passion for singing Filipino songs.

Princess Munji is also a fan of Filipino food like adobo and chicken sopas.
