| Collection | William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh |
| Description | The will states that William had initially wanted his body to be interred in a vault at St George's Chapel, Windsor, but at the time of writing felt that he should simply be placed where thought fit. He also specified he was not to undergo an autopsy. The Duke bequeathed [Maria] Duchess [of Gloucester] her own property, including jewels, but declares that he could not make provision for her or his children, Prince William Frederick and Princess Sophia Matilda, who were named as his executors.
Noted on the reverse that the will was received August 1805. [This was accompanied by a certificate from Thomas Dalton GEO/MAIN/54398.] |
