By Tom Kelly and Mark Duell PUBLISHED: 12:30 EST, 26 September 2013 | UPDATED: 18:05 EST, 26 September 2013 Outside court: Chloe Brennan, 40, insisted at London's High Court that her father's siblings had 'never liked her and didn't want to know her' As the only child of a wealthy diplomat’s son, she was treated like a ‘princess’ by her father and believed he had promised to leave her his fortune. So Chloe Brennan was shocked to learn after he died that his siblings had ‘encouraged’ him to sign a deathbed will they had drawn-up without legal advice which left the bulk of his estate to them.
