Rajmata Gayatri Devi’s grandson Devraj Singh and his sister Lalitya Kumari will not only inherit her wealth — estimated at anything between Rs 750 and Rs 1,000 crore — but also that of their late father Jagat Singh, which had been a matter of raging dispute three years back. It is learnt that Gayatri Devi has left a will. the will will come up for execution soon. huge royal property dispute erupted in 2006 when the purported will of Jagat Singh barred his two children from inheriting his property. In this purported will Jagat Singh, who had married a Thai princess and later divorced her, apparently disinherited his two children. This, the two challenged in a Jaipur court. The purported will reportedly left all of Jagat Singh’s property to his mother, Gayatri Devi. In court, Gayatri Devi had claimed that through the will, Jagat Singh had made her the sole inheritor.
Jagat Singh, the only son of Gayatri Devi, had married Thai princess Rajawongse Priyanandana Rangsit. She had two children — Devraj and Lalitya — with him, but later the two divorced, and she shifted to Bangkok. Jagat Singh died in 1997. Rangsit in 2006 moved court, claiming that her children were the legal heirs of Jagat Singh’s estates and Gayatri Devi was trying to prevent them on the basis of a ‘forged will’, which made the Rajmata the sole inheritor.
