Rupert Hambro, who has died aged 77, was a stylish financial entrepreneur in the fifth generation of one of the City’s most illustrious banking dynasty.
Hambro had barely passed his 40th birthday in 1983 when he succeeded his cousin Charlie (later Lord Hambro) as chairman of Hambros Bank, founded in London in 1839 by their forebear Carl Joachim Hambro, who came from a merchant family in Copenhagen.
