VICTIM Georg-Constantin A GERMAN prince died in a fall from his horse at a friend’s English country estate, an inquest heard.

Georg-Constantin of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, 41, was probably killed when his horse rolled on him, a postmortem showed.

His pal Jean Christophe Iseux, Baron von Pfetten, wept as he told the inquest he tried to save him and said: “I thought I hadn’t done enough.”

The prince was declared dead at the scene, at Apethorpe Palace, Northants, last June.

He was heir to the House of Wettin and moved to the UK after marrying English model Olivia Rachelle Page in 2015.

The coroner in Northampto­n said he died “doing something he loved” .

Verdict: Accident. AMAZON multi-billionair­e Jeff Bezos’s divorce was sparked by an eight-month affair with a married American TV star, it is claimed.

The world’s richest man and Lauren Sanchez, 49, were cheating on their spouses since June, according to the National Enquirer magazine.

Yesterday it alleged that 54-year-old Bezos – said to be worth £125billion – sent the former So You Think You Can Dance presenter erotic selfies “too explicit to print” and whisked her off on holidays in his £51million jet.

On Sunday the pair were together at Amazon’s Golden Globes party.

Bezos is reported to have begun the affair after splitting from novelist wife MacKenzie, 46, following what he called “a long period NATIONAL ENQUIRER ALLEGING 8-MONTH AFFAIR of loving exploratio­n and trial separation”. But the Enquirer alleged he sent Sanchez texts saying “I want to smell you” and “I want to breathe you in” as early as April 2018.

Accomplish­ed helicopter pilot Sanchez is married to Hollywood talent mogul Patrick Whitesell. They are said to have “separated this fall”.

The pair, who have not filed for divorce, have two children.

She also has a teenage son from a first marriage. The two couples, with homes in Seattle, Washington, have known each other for years.

An unnamed source told the New York Post: “Patrick and Lauren...tried to fix things but in the fall they officially separated.

“She told Patrick she had recently been seeing Bezos.”

On Wednesday Bezos said he and MacKenzie, who helped found Amazon, were splitting after 25 years.

The divorce settlement could make the mum of four the world’s richest woman.

The National Enquirer said it trailed Bezos for 16 weeks in a bid to prove he and Sanchez were “doing the dirty”.

It allegedly followed them for 40,000 miles as they travelled by private jet, limo and helicopter for “quality time in hidden love nests”. Sanchez and Amazon did not respond to requests for comment. A representa­tive for Bezos said he remained “focused on all aspects of

Amazon”.
