FRIEND OF SULTAN
DANCER LEAVES £10.970. The millionaire Sultan of Johore’s friend. Miss Lydia Hill, former cabaret dancer, who was killed in a raid on Canterbury last October, left £16,970. She left no will. The Sultan wanted to marry Miss Hill. In 1938 there were rumours and denials of an engagement; there was also a crisis in Johore over the romance and talk of an abdication. Then it was announced that they would remain friends. One day last October, Miss Hill went into Canterbury, her birthplace, to buy a wedding present for a friend. The shop in which she was buying it received a direct hit from a bomb and she was killed. |
