Longcross House (the estate in question) is owned by the Sheik Mohammed al Maktoum, and is near Ascot. I think that we can discount PPRuNe Radar's assertion that Scottish law has somehow come to have precedence in all this
LONGCROSS HOUSE
The owner of Longcross House is Sheik Mohammed al Maktoum and is in Berkshire with the approximate value of £75 million.
Twenty years ago the house near Ascot was bought for less than £750,000 by Sheik Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai and United Arab Emirates’ defence minister.
Today, this estate is worth millions, even though the Arab owned properties that are on the Berkshire-Surrey border are difficult to value. And they are very unlikely to appear on the open market and the immense security that surrounds the grounds this makes it difficult to see what renovations have been done.
There is not much information on Longcross House, the way it is today, but little bits of information say that the sheik has added three hangers fro his large collection of vehicles and limousines. Also electronic gates and guard houses protect the two main entrances to the house.
