She has apologised for the " mistake".
A spokesperson said she " deeply regrets her failure to monitor" the value of the shares. MPs are meant to declare all shareholdings worth over £70,000.
The spokesperson added that it had not occurred to her that any of the stakes would pass the threshold, but they did after she received A Legacy in 2018.

She registered the stake on 17 July this year, along with stakes over the same amount in drinks multinational Diageo, also from February 2018, and consumer credit firm Experian, from July 2019.
On the same day, she also registered a shareholding over the threshold in RIT Capital Partners, an investment trust.
On 2 August, she registered a fifth stake over the amount in Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust, with records showing she held it between 6 and 20 July this year.

They added that " nothing she has ever said or done as MP has been influenced by these shareholdings, " but she was " Taking Steps to ensure that this never happens again".
" She takes full responsibility for the mistake. She accepts that it should never have happened, and that she should have kept track of the additions to her investment portfolio, " they added.
The shareholdings she held during her time as environment secretary did not appear on the separate ministerial register of interests published during her Time In The Job .
The spokesperson said that when she started The Role , she told The Department about her shares and offered to put them in a " blind" trust, where she would not have known how The Money was invested.
However the Prime Minister 's ethics adviser at The Time , Sir Alex Allan , advised her This Was unnecessary because " the portfolio was managed for her and she did not take investment decisions, " they added.
" Nothing she did as [environment] secretary was influenced by any of these shareholdings, " the spokesperson added.
