One of Lloyd's wealthiest Names has had to pay out nearly £2m for the losses sustained at the World Trade Center in September 2001.

The Sunday Times reported that the "first lady of Lloyd's", Lady Rona Delves Broughton, was one of nearly 2,500 Names who had sustained losses from the terrorist attacks on the WTC.

The paper described Delves Broughton as "a colourful socialite". It said she had an estimated £10m still invested at Lloyd's but had had to suspend renovations at her country home, the 18th century Doddington Hall in Cheshire.

Delves Broughton is chairman of a group of Names called the high premium group. She is the widow of Sir Evelyn Delves Broughton, whose father Sir Jock was acquitted for the murder of his wife's lover, the Earl of Erroll, in Kenya's notorious Happy Valley murder case in the 1940s, on which the film White Mischief was based.
