King Charles' special tribute to Holocaust survivor

<p>King Charles has paid tribute to Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert, who has died aged 100. </p> <p>The Hungarian-born British writer died peacefully at home in north London. She was the eldest of six children and was freed from Auschwitz at the age of 20, almost 80 years ago, as her mother and two younger siblings were killed in the gas chambers.</p> <p>She migrated to the UK in 1967 with her husband and began educating the world about the horrors of the Holocaust. </p> <p>Since then, her story and resilience has touched millions worldwide, including King Charles, who met her in 2015 when she joined him to light one of six remembrance candles in London for the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. </p> <p>Last year, he made her an MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in recognition of her services to Holocaust education. </p> <p>In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, the monarch said  "it was with the greatest sadness" that he had heard of her death.</p> <p>"As a survivor of the unmentionable horrors of the Holocaust, I am so proud that she later found a home in Britain where she continued to tell the world of the horrendous atrocities she had witnessed, as a permanent reminder for our generation – and, indeed, for future generations – of the depths of depravity and evil to which humankind can fall, when reason, compassion and truth are abandoned," he said.</p> <p>"Alongside other Holocaust survivors, she became an integral part of the fabric of our nation; her extraordinary resilience and courage an example to us all, which will never be forgotten."</p> <p>In 2021, Charles, who was the Prince of Wales described how he had been personally inspired throughout his own life by the stories of survivors and their bravery and personal sacrifice. </p> <p>At the unveiling of the Queen's Gallery in London, Ebert told him:  "Meeting you, it is for everyone who lost their lives." </p> <p>To which the King replied:  "But it is a greater privilege for me."</p> <p>Ebert's great-grandson Dov Forman, who helped co-write her book<em> How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live, </em>paid tribute to the family's "beloved matriarch", known as Safta on social media. </p> <p>"Over the years, Safta's story touched hundreds of millions worldwide, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit and the dangers of unchecked hatred," he began.</p> <p>"She taught us the power of tolerance and faith, the importance of speaking out, and the need to stand against prejudice.</p> <p>"Safta was the queen of our large, loving family. With a surviving daughter and son – remembering a daughter who pre-deceased her – 10 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, her legacy lives on in each of us.</p> <p>"She rebuilt her life with faith and love, never asking, 'Why me?'. Instead, she focused on what could be rebuilt from the ashes, and her positivity continues to guide us through these difficult times.</p> <p>"As we mourn our beloved Mummy, Safta, we also celebrate her extraordinary life.</p> <p>"A light that shone so brightly has gone dark. She was our hero, and her absence leaves an unimaginable void in our lives."</p> <p><em>Images: </em><em>Arthur Edwards/WPA Pool/ Shutterstock Editorial</em></p> <p> </p>

Tiger Lily loses out on dad Michael Hutchence's millions

<p>Tiger Lily Hutchence, the daughter of INXS member Michael Hutchence, has missed out on a large amount of royalties from her father’s music.</p> <p>These royalties are believed to amount to tens of millions of dollars.</p> <p>An investigation by ABC’s <em>Four Corners</em> found that the rockstar’s former lawyer Colin Diamond instead controls much of the estate and owns the company holding the music rights.</p> <p>Uncovered in the Paradise Papers offshore tax haven leak, were handwritten papers revealing that a company called Helipad Plain was created in Mauritius in 2015 as part of a deal between Mr Diamond and music entrepreneur Ron Creevey.</p> <p><em>Four Corners</em> reported that the company’s stated aim was the “commercial exploitation of the sound recordings, images, films and related materials embodying the performance of Michael Hutchence.”</p> <p>Rhett Hutchence has said that his late brother wanted any money from his estate to be split with 50 per cent going to Tiger Lily, then 10 per cent each to this father, mother, sister, brother and partner Paula Yates.</p> <p>It has been discovered that the intellectual property rights were never part of Michael Hutchence’s estate but instead owned by a British Virgin Islands company called Chardonnay Investments. Mr Diamond became the sole owner upon Hutchence’s death.</p> <p>“The reason for this is that he was a trusted friend of Michael Hutchence and because of that and the fact that he (MH) had various family issues, he left Colin Diamond to deal with the assets of Chardonnay,” a lawyer for Mr Diamond wrote in an email contained in the Paradise Papers.</p> <p>Tiger Lily declined to comment and although she has received some money from Mr Diamond, it is nothing like the full amount of her father’s music rights.</p> <p>“My understanding is that Colin Diamond is well disposed to Tiger Lily and discusses matters with her, but that is between them,” Mr Creevey told the program.</p> <p>“I am no longer involved in the unreleased music side of things.”</p> <p>Rhett Hutchence also questioned how Mr Diamond came into possession of Hutchence’s most personal belongings after he took his own life in the November 1977.</p> <p>“Two days after Michael died, Colin Diamond went into the Rose Bay Police Station, acting as Michael’s attorney, and took hold of all of Michael’s possessions that he had with him in Australia,” he told Four Corners.</p> <p>“He kindly left the belt that Michael used for my father to pick up. My father was — I mean, the whole family was completely shocked that he had actually taken all this stuff. None of that stuff has ever been released to the family. That should have been part of the estate. It’s the family stuff.”</p> <p>“I think it’s about time we had a platform and told what’s been going on, because it’s, it’s injustice, you know? What has happened is injustice.”</p> <p>Mr Diamond has previously claimed that he kept Hutchence’s diary and other personal items “for Tiger for many years”.  </p>
