Former Conservative MP Charlie Elphicke, recently released after a year behind bars, says former Cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken helped him survive prison. Meanwhile,Nicky Hilton’s four‑year‑old son Chasen is picking up a British accent,and King Charles was seen at a modest Sunday service attended by just nine people.

Charlie Elphicke credits Jonathan Aitken for prison mentorship

Elphicke, who was sentenced to two years in 2020 for sexual assault, reached out to Aitken—an 83‑year‑old ex‑cabinet minister who served seven months for perjury—before his incarceration.. He asked, “Jonathan, I’m going in. What do I do?” and received a booklet titled Doing Time, co‑written with Oxford graduate Edward Smyth, that distilled Aitken’s hard‑won prison wisdom. According to the source, Aitken’s support proved “invaluable” as Elphicke later helped fellow inmates draft letters to lawyers and judges.

Elphicke, now a self‑employed builder specializing in damp‑proofing, says he avoided self‑pity by focusing on others. The former MP’s fall from grace—once listing “making Britain a richer, more exciting place to be” as a recreation—highlights how personal networks can shape survival even in the penal system.
