EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Police probe Sir Winston Churchill's grandson Lord Soames's Army charity over 'lost' £400,000


It seems unlikely that the Tory peer can be relishing the latest chapter in the history of the Ogilby Trust, a military charity of which he is the pre-eminent grandee.

He was appointed in difficult circumstances, following the departure of Prince Andrew, the Trust's longstanding patron, who relinquished his position — along with similar roles he held at numerous other charities — in the wake of his 'car-crash' interview with Emily Maitlis. Soames, 76, who was awarded a peerage when he retired as an MP in 2019, does not respond to my telephone call, while Wiltshire Police, who have been entrusted with the inquiry into the missing funds, say that they cannot comment, explaining their investigation is 'ongoing'. Rebel Wilson's recent revelation in her memoir that she was allegedly disrespected by Sacha Baron Cohen on the set of their 2016 film Grimsby appears to have inspired others to share their claims of mistreatment in the movie industry.
