Stuart Wheeler’s two daughters, Stuart Wheeler and his wife were very upset to learn that the will contained a clause that stated their magic family seat, Chilham Castle, would be sold to raise funds for charity.
But there has been a reprieve for the trio – willowy model Jacquetta, Sarah and Charlotte – because I can reveal the sale of the £15 million 300-acre estate in Kent has fallen through.
‘The buyer pulled out,’ my source tells me. ‘The girls will be thrilled.’
Jacquetta Wheeler, her sister Sarah, and Charlotte received an exemption from their father’s will that their beloved family estate should be sold. The proceeds must then go to charity.

Maybe it’s the stress of her ex-husband’s legal battles, but it looks like Sarah Ferguson is back on the ciggies.
She’s tried to kick the habit many times over the years but was spotted with a packet of upmarket Vogue cigarettes, circled, in her bag after an evening at top Mayfair club Loulou’s.
It would not have been a cheap night – the Vogues would have set Fergie, 62, back £14 and it’s hard to find a cocktail under £20 at Loulou’s.
Yet, her balance was still as steady as ever as she marched to an awaiting car after midnight.
Evidently, she still knows how party!

Meanwhile, the wedding celebrations of billionaire oil heiress Ivy Love Getty and photographer Tobias Alexander Engel were so decadent that guests were offered IV drips – jokingly dubbed ‘Ivy drips’ in honour of the bride – to help them recuperate during the gruelling three-day schedule.
The opulence included a Mark Ronson DJ set, an Earth, Wind & Fire gig, and US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi officiating at the San Francisco ceremony.
Paris Barbie Bride is really dolled up
Demure never was in Paris Hilton’s vocabulary – and so the hotel heiress seemed only too happy to emulate a Barbie doll with this neon pink dress, veil and heart-shaped sunglasses on the second day of her weekend-long wedding bash.
She and new hubby Carter Reum, both 40, hired the entire Santa Monica Pier in California to host a modestly titled ‘Paris World’ carnival on Friday. The guests included Billy Idol and Demi Lovato.
The couple had tied the knot in a relatively sedate affair earlier at her late grandfather Barron Hilton’s Bel-Air estate.
