RICHARD EDEN: I can reveal the Prime Minister s wife and her boss, Damian Aspinall, have been slapped down again over their ambitious and controversial animal projects.
Lady Lucinda Lambton was so angry that her brother, Ned, inherited the family s £35 million estate as well as the Earl of Durham title that she and two of her sisters took him to court.
Happily, there are no such problems with the will made by her husband, the former newspaper editor Sir Peregrine Worsthorne, who died last October aged 96.
I can reveal that Worsthorne left more than £2.3 million in his will, with the vast bulk going to Lady Lucinda, 78 (with him, below).
Newly published probate documents disclose that the former Sunday Telegraph editor, known to friends as Perry, left a gross estate of £2.3 million, the income from this going to Lady Lucinda, also a writer.
