Someone dust off the red carpet — we hear a VIP who’s been MIA is about to be back on the scene.
Word around the oak-paneled dining rooms of the Upper East Side is that Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild has been “run out of London” after the death of her banking tycoon husband, Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, and she’s heading back stateside — albeit with hundreds of millions of Rothschild pounds in her suitcase.
Lady Lynn, now 69, married Sir Evelyn in 2000, and when the heir to the famed Rothschild fortune died in November at 91, he left his storied moola to her, rather than his three kids, Jessica, Anthony and David.
And if the missing money didn’t get on their nerves, we hear that Lady Lynn’s management of the funeral certainly did.
“She didn’t let any of the kids speak,” an insider told Page Six.
“That upset them, especially Jessica.”
We’re told the family was also upset that Sir Evelyn’s best friend and cousin, Lord Jacob Rothschild, didn’t perform the eulogy.
That honor went to a notably non-British pal of Lady Lynn’s, former President Bill Clinton.
“Evelyn had only met Clinton a handful of times,” sniffed the source.

“It would have been much more meaningful to the family for Jacob to have spoken.”
Now, multiple uptown sources tell us that Lady Lynn hasn’t smoothed things over on the other side of the pond and she’s officially worn out her welcome amid the London social set.
“She’s been run out of town,” a source told us with a certain shortage of sympathy.
“They all hate her over there.”
It is particularly a pity, since Sir Evelyn also gave her the family estate, Ascott, in Bedfordshire.
Lady Lynn, who has two grown sons, Benjamin and John, from her previous marriage to former New York pol Andrew Stein, made her own fortune in wireless communications.
She didn’t respond to our requests for comment.
