The ‘forgotten’ son of the late artist Lucian Freud has launched a legal battle to claim a share of his late father’s multi-million pound fortune.
A secret trust fund set up by the painter will be examined in the High Court after Paul Freud, 55, cast doubt on its legality.
Freud, one of the greatest painters of his generation whose subjects included the Queen and Kate Moss, left a fortune of £95.9m when he died in 2011 at the age of 88.
In his will he ordered that his assistant, David Dawson, should be left £2.5m, as well as his west London home.
