“He’s definitely haunting my house,” 20-year-old Francesca says.

“[The television is] always on the cricket when I turn it on. It’s a funny thing when you lose someone very close to you. You lose them, but 
you don’t. Every time I go to the polo I think of him.”

Australian billionaire, pictured with his wife, Roslyn, passed away on 26th December back in 2005.

Francesca, who recently took a position at her uncle James Packer’s Crown Resorts, says the ladies rule the roost in her famous family.

“The men are obviously tough 
and strong, big and tall, and every other stereotype that exists on the planet… But the women are stronger and tougher, and more amazing.”

The 20-year-old, pictured with her grandmother Roslyn Packer, says she can often feel the presence of her later grandfather when she’s watching TV.
