In the years since Princess Diana’s death, her sisters have continued to protect her legacy. In 2021, with their nephews Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Prince William, then still the Duke of Cambridge, they unveiled a commemorative statue in the grounds of Diana’s old home, Kensington Palace.

However, in other ways, they may have let their sister down after her death. Diana left her large fortune split between her sons, but she also had others in her life whom she wanted to do something nice for as well, including her 17 godchildren. She didn’t include these bequests in her legal will but in a document called a “Letter of Wishes” that she wrote only a day later. This included the instructions that a full one-quarter of her jewelry and other personal items be distributed among her godchildren. It’s estimated this would have been worth £100,000 or about $160,000 per child.

However, these expensive gifts were never dispersed as intended. As one of the executors of the will, Lady Sarah McCorquodale went to court in order to be able to ignore this part of Diana’s very clear instructions, never even telling those affected. Instead, they gave each godchild a single item of Diana’s as a keepsake, none of which had any real monetary value. These included a porcelain bunny and an incomplete tea set. The gifts were delivered by Sarah herself, wrapped in newspaper.
