Her Majesty, 95, agreed to pay for her son's defence at the beginning of last year, shortly after his disastrous Newsnight interview, in which he failed to show any empathy for Jeffrey Epstein's victims or regret over their friendship.

A 15-year-old girl dies on the day she was due for the vaccine in UK

Jorja was struggling to eat on Sunday and by Monday she could not eat at all because of her throat was hurting so much.  A doctor prescribed antibiotics, but Jorja’s condition worsened and her heart rate was double what it should have been and she was rushed to hospital. 

Her mother, Tracey Halliday, 40, said  “I was with her the whole time. They tried to put her on a ventilator to give her body a chance to recover. Her heart rate didn’t stabilise. Her heart couldn’t take the strain. They worked as well as I think they could medically, but were unable to save her.”
