Princess Anastasia's will

The body of American-born Princess Anastasia of Greece will be removed today from Spencer House in London, where she died a few days ago to a Russian Orthodox church where a mass will be celebrated. On September 22, the remains will be placed on board the Mauretania for the final voyage back to New York.
Although full details have not been released, it is reported that the princess' private estate will be divided among her husband, Prince Christopher of Greece, her son, William Leeds, and her sister, Mrs. Henderson Stewart. This inheritance will be taken from the Princess' private fortune, which includes the money she inherited from her father, and from the interest she drew from the trust fund left to her by her second husband, the "tin plate king," William Leeds. The rest of the princess' private fortune will be donated to charity.
The bulk of the estate -- the actual trust fund -- goes to William Leeds, who will now have the right to draw the interest.
