“We were very close,” Jackson told German media in 1999. “She was extremely close by phone… I was still married to Lisa Marie [Presley]. Diana usually woke me up late at night… mostly after three in the morning! And then she talked to me for hours on the phone. She mostly talked about her children and the press.”
Michael claimed Diana would keep him on the phone for ages.
“Lisa Marie used to get so jealous she would go into the other room, pick up the receiver and listen in,” he said.
Whether these late – night calls actually happened is still unproven. According to Diana’s friends who talked to The Express, Jackson supposedly never had Diana’s private number. If he called Kensington Palace, the staff were told not to put him through to the princess.
