“Following Diana’s death at 36 in a car crash in Paris, her Will stipulated that her mother should be consulted about her children’s education,” the report says.

“It says $80,000 tax-free should be left to her butler and confidant, Paul Burrell, and her iconic wedding dress, which features thousands of pearls and a 25-foot train, was left to William and Harry.

“Other items, including paintings and a clock, were bequeathed to Diana’s 17 godchildren.”

Other famous Wills in the archive include that of Winston Churchill, George Orwell (under his real name, Eric Blair), and A.A. Milne, author of “Winnie the Pooh.”
