Lord Lucan's wife's bitter feud with their children including 30-year silence

Lord Lucan is one of the most famous runaways of the modern age and his disappearance has remained a mystery, but now a facial recognition expert claims they that an elderly man living in Australia is a definite match for the runaway murderer. When he vanished in 1974, Richard John Bingham, seventh Earl of Lucan, left behind his wife - Veronica Duncan, the Dowager Countess of Lucan, and their three children George, Frances, and Camilla.

Over the years a bitter feud developed between the remaining family and it was reported that Veronica didn't speak to her children for over 30 years, before taking one last jab at them from beyond the grave. She died alone in 2017, in the house where her missing aristocrat husband was accused of murdering his children's nanny, Sandra Rivett.
