Michael Jackson: From Sheikh to chic

Michael Jackson.JPGIf you thought that Michael Jackson only hid from the world at the Sheikh’s palace in Dubai - think again.

Kitchen Rat can in fact reveal that last summer he was holed up in the Prince Charles suite in Von Essen’s Cliveden Hall, Berkshire.

The stately home turned hotel, owned by the Von Essen Group, may at first seem somewhat of a bizarre place for the King of Pop to carry out his self-imposed exile.

But it has pedigree like the pop-star himself.

Cliveden played a part in the Profumo Affair, with the then Secretary of State for War, John Profumo. He used the cottage on the estate in order to sleep with someone he shouldn’t- his mistress Christine Keeler-who was affiliated to a Russian Spy, a bad idea during the Cold War- and then proceeded to deny it in court. Very much the tabloid Thriller of its day.

Back to Michael Jackson then, and instead of a chocolate on the pillow during his stay he had a Cliveden Teddy to keep him company and paintings of some rather creepy cats on the walls. A room fit for a King (of Pop).

Given his recent very public struggles to pay off his Neverland Ranch debts, Kitchen Rat can state for the record that he paid his hotel bill on time and in full, proving that he’s not so Bad at all.
