Royal task for brother of lord


A M EM B E R of a p rom in en t local family has a key role in the winding up of th e Queen Moth­


er’s affairs. The Hon. Nicholas Assheton,


brother of Lord Clitheroe, was trea­ surer to the nation's most revered • royal for the last four years of her life:' - He was also an extra equerry arid


now is one of the team ensuring an orderly end to a major chapter iri Royal history.

Mother was hundreds of thousands of pounds in the red at her bank. - ^ However, although details of her;


I t has been revealed that the Queen


will are remaining confidential due to ­ iler royal status, it is clear this sum is insignificant when set against the value of her assets........... They include a Monet painting


bought for £2,000 in 1945 and now valued at £7m. Mr Assheton had a busy life in the


City at one time. He was a key figure at Coutts and

Mr Assheton holds several hon­


orary and charitable posts. He has always maintained a professional dis­ cretion about his work, but it is no secret he had a great respect for the Queen Mother and was sometimes one of her lunchtime guests. A spokesman at Clarence House

says it is not known how long Mr Assheton and other members of the Queen Mother's household will remain in royal employment.
