Kirstie Allsopp set to inherit staggering amount after dad left millions of pounds in will

Kirstie Allsopp lost her dad at the age of 83 back in June. Now, the Location, Location, Location star is set to inherit a staggering amount of cash after Lord Charles Hindlip died at his home in Dorset.

It is believed that he has left behind an estate of £6,113,334, reduced to £6,080,843 after his bills were settled. Initially, his wife Fiona Lady Hindlip was due to inherit the lot, but she sadly died before him from breast cancer in 2014, aged 66.

Now, Kirstie, 54, is reportedly set to inherit a whopping £1.5m share of her dad's estate, as it is shared between her and her three siblings - Henry, 52, Sophie, 44, and Natasha Allsopp, 38.

Charles also left his paintings of Lady Emily Berkeley by Sir Thomas Lawrence and a pair of pictures of the Cateret family to his son Henry.

At the time of his death, Kirstie shared a touching post to her social media accounts which read: "This is my Dad, Charlie Hindlip.

"He was a great auctioneer, the best of his generation, an artist, a gardener, a father of four, and grandfather of eight, a loving husband to a wife he lost too soon. He was a real star, he worked hard, played hard and went further than anyone ever expected.

"He died at home yesterday, surrounded by love, flowers & photographs, in a house he built, looking out over a stunning garden he created from scratch."

She concluded: "I have been so proud to be his daughter all my life, and will be until the day I die. Bless you Dad, we loved you so much."

The news came just weeks after the Channel 4 favourite revealed her dad had been hospitalised on May 24. She said at the time: "When my Dad was very ill in 2022 I used my energy & endless time by his bed to tweet about visiting hours; many hospitals were still operating unnecessary covid related restrictions. Dad is back in hospital, hopefully briefly, this time".

Hindlip was the former chairman of the British auction house Christies, where he worked for 40 years before retiring in 2002.

He was known as Charles Allsopp throughout his working life, and sold one of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers paintings in 1987.

He started the bidding at £5million and eventually banging down the gavel at £24,750,000.

In 1997 he acted as auctioneer for Princess Diana’s dresses, which raised £2.8million for charity, two months before her death.
