A businesswoman is locked in a bitter inheritance fight over the family jewels after her wealthy aunt left her £6million fortune to an ex-British Airways air steward she met on a cruise.
Julia Titcombe, 46, says her rich and unconventional aunt Patricia Thompson promised her treasured £150,000 jewellery collection to her in a Skype call before she died.
But when globetrotting multimillionaire Ms Thompson died in Monte Carlo in February 2015, she left her entire £6million estate to former senior purser, Neil Ison, 54, whom she had befriended on a cruise ship holiday years earlier.
That included her precious 31-piece jewellery collection, acquired during her years of travelling to exotic places.

Schoharie County s law enforcement review committee will double its meeting schedule in January to meet a state-mandated April 1 deadline.Â
At the county s committee meeting Tuesday, Dec. 15, Board of Supervisors Chair Bill Federice said the group would increase from meeting twice a month to meeting weekly next year. The reason for that is to try to accelerate where we are and to stay on pace because April will be coming soon, he said. We re going to put it to the grindstone, so to speak, Federice said.Â
During the 50-minute meeting last week, Federice told the committee members, they re not going to be so brief in January. Â
