A UK judge rejected a claim brought by Liechtenstein-based Asturion Foundation, which was set up in 1974 by the late king, to take control of assets including Kenstead Hall — a large house on the Bishop’s Avenue in north London — that’s worth “tens of millions” of pounds, according to previous filings in the case. The avenue is one of the most expensive streets in the capital.
