A Nazi hunter who cut his children and grandchildren out of his will and instead left his fortune to his third wife was not the victim of 'undue influence', a court has ruled.
Self-styled 'Lord' Peter Eden changed his will the year before his death aged 99 so that all his shares in his property company were left to 'Lady' Joy Eden, 85.
He had initially left a third of his 60 per cent holding in his property company to Joy and two thirds to his grandchildren, the offspring of his daughters from his third marriage.
But Eden re-wrote his will to leave all the company shares, reportedly worth an estimated £2million, to Joy, who he had been married to for 20 years.
His wife also inherited the £1.5million family home they shared in Hampstead, north London.
