Nat Rothschild upset his parents in the mid-1990s when he eloped with socialite Annabelle Neilson and embarked on a short-lived marriage. 

Nor did he invite his father Lord (Jacob) Rothschild, who died last year, to his 2016 wedding to former glamour model Loretta Basey.

Nat has, though, not been left out of the will of Jacob, who used to speak to his friend King Charles every day.

Newly published probate documents disclose that Lord Rothschild left a fortune of £400million.

It will be shared among family members including Nat, 53, who is now the 5th Lord Rothschild.

The Rothschilds’ banking empire was founded in Frankfurt in the 18th century. During the Victorian age, they became the richest people in the world.
