The late Duchess of Kent left behind an estate worth more than £1.4 million.
Newly released probate records reveal how his wealth was distributed among his family members, charities and loved ones.
The Duchess died aged 92 after a 64-year marriage to the Duke of Kent, leaving a gross estate valued at £1,433,696.
After debts and other obligations were paid, the net value of his estate was £1,433,206.
Unlike many senior royals, whose wills are typically sealed for decades, the details of his probate have become public.
This is believed to be linked to his decision to step back from official royal duties in 2002, after receiving permission from the late Queen Elizabeth II to retire from public life.
A significant part of his estate was arranged for the benefit of his three children.
Under the terms of the family trust known as the Worsley Settlement, the Duke of Kent was entitled to receive income from the trust during his lifetime.
After his death, the remaining assets will be divided between their children: George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, who will receive half, Lord Nicholas Windsor, who will receive a third, and Lady Helen Taylor, who will receive the remaining sixth.
The Duchess also made several personal and charitable donations in her will.
His interest in a property in Edwardes Square, Kensington, was left to his grandson Edward Edmund Maximilian George Windsor, Baron Downpatrick.
She donated £10,000 to Future Talent Musicians, the charity she helped set up in 2004 to support talented young musicians from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Nine of his godchildren were also remembered in the will, each receiving an inheritance of £5,000.
They included Catherine Cameron, Tania Astor, Clare Kerr, Amabel Kerr, Emma Scott, Christopher Morrell, Edward Marsh, Andrew Burley and George Anandraj.
Her jewelry, furniture and other personal effects were left to the Duke of Kent, with instructions to distribute the individual items according to any written wishes she may have left.
