    I’m so happy that there is going to be a movie about the Principality! That is wonderful. People still call me Lord Muhammad till this day 2 years later from receiving my official title from H.R.H. Michael. I’m so happy and I feel proud about the Principality. When people see my name signed as Lord Muhammad, they still marvel at it. I’m with you on the movie Your Highness.

    -Baron Muhammad of Sealand
