Why
this is now being offered
His
Grace, the Duke, feels strongly that Michael should be understood by
the world, having watched the profusion of lies which have been sold
about him. At his core His Grace believes Jackson to be a man who
struggled with pain and contradictions while wanting to do right and
move the world in a better direction, sharing this goal with Her
Highness, the Princess Diana, who was both a friend of the Duke and a
cousin.
Lies
distort our world today when we are desperately in need to clarity
and truth.
So
both to make Michael truly known to those who could only look on him
from afar His Grace decided to make this opportunity available while
using the funds thus generated to fund the means to help Veterans
afflicted with the problem of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
His
Grace, who also served in the military, also suffered from the
condition and understands the cost exacted from those afflicted and
from those who love them.
Interview
His Grace,
Alexander, The Duke of Manchester, was first introduced to Michael
Jackson in the 1980’s by a close mutual friend, Elizabeth Taylor.
His Grace lived around the corner from Taylor when he was still in
grade school and came to know her as a neighbor and friend, not as a
star.
After Taylor
introduced them his Grace became a close friend of the Jackson as
well. The two shared confidences, discussing their personal lives,
their families, and the world at large. Over those many years His
Grace witnessed events which explain the intense privacy Jackson
consistently maintained and the alienation which even outsiders
sensed in the Jackson family.
His Grace
understood Michael, standing witness to the interactions between
Michael, his father Joe Jackson, his mother and brothers and sisters,
over those many years. At home, in dressing rooms after concerts, at
all the places where life happens, His Grace witnessed as the
relationships of the Jacksons evolved and changed over time
solidifying into the alienation which resulted in the exclusion of
Joe Jackson and his sons from Neverland entirely. Jackson's sisters,
NAMES, were allowed only to come and visit the Zoo and Amusement
Park. Only Janet was allowed in the Jackson home at Neverland.
Interviews will
be frank providing real questions regarding the Jackson family.
Film
Segments:
Back Story - [The Duke was
invited to the funeral for Diana, Princess of Wales, who is a cousin.
The Princess had often stayed with Lord Alex at his home in Los
Angeles. The two shared common concerns and discussed the work in
which Princess Diana was then involved with land mines.
Diana expressed to Lord Alex how
emotionally difficult it was to pursue her work against land mines
and her hopes for change. The Duke was very supportive of this work,
agreeing absolutely with the Princess on the need for change and
peace.
Elizabeth Taylor, who introduced his
Grace, then Viscount of Manchester, to Michael Jackson in the early
80's, and Jackson, asked to accompany the Duke to the funeral and
were with him in London on the occasion. Both were asked by
Buckingham Palace not to attend the actual funeral for fear their
celebrity status would impact the funeral. Both Taylor and Jackson
agreed and did not personally attend.]
Description -
These segments were taken in one of the three Hyatt Hotels in London
immediately after His Grace, the Duke of Manchester, returned from
the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. One of the segments include
Michael Jackson playing Hide and Seek with His Grace's son, Alexander
who had traveled to London with his father, the Duke, and was in the
care of his nanny during the funeral.
Approximately
35 Minutes of Hide and Seek, Alexander Jr. and Michael Jackson
Neverland,
Michael Jackson at Neverland
Description
– These segments are effectively
home movies taken by His Grace, Alexander, the Duke of Manchester,
and were filmed in every part of Neverland with Jackson as it was
during his life. To the best of our knowledge these are the only
existing films of Michael Jackson at home, being himself, as he talks
to his Grace, who is, himself, filming the action and so is heard but
not seen. Footage includes the films made at Neverland showing the
light show from the Disneyland Electric Light Parade, acquired by
Jackson when it was phased out by Disneyland. These were installed
Neverland in the amusement park area and are shown in the video here
offered for the only time. More significant than any interview, the
footage reveals a friendship through the intimacy of shared moments
spoken through image.
As you watch you
see Michael exploring Neverland, playing hide-and-seek with
Alexander, his Grace's son, and eating while the spontaneous dialog
continues. This provides a unique perspective on Jackson and events
then unfolding in this most relaxed, and private Jackson environment.
The National
Enquirer approached the Duke several years ago in an attempt to
purchase these videos. His Grace declined at that time. He is now
offering these to extend the work of Princess Diana as well as that
of Michael Jackson.
Approximately
90 minutes of a tour of Neverland.
