David Gladstone, former British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka and the man who opened the first British embassy in Ukraine
White, formerly a close family friend of Gladstone’s, had moved into the mansion following the death of his son in 2017. White refused, saying she had a right to stay as the ‘successor and heiress’ to his fortunes, a status she claimed to have been promised from 2007 onwards.White then countersued, claiming that Gladstone was going back on his earlier promises to her.
The judge ordered White to vacate the premises, and said that she would not be entitled to any of the relief lain out in her countersuit.White first met Gladstone and his first wife, April, three decades ago. Over time, White became ever closer with the couple.
