A: What happened to her?
B: She died in a car accident in Paris. Why?
A: I am now writing an essay. I need to know some information about her. But I don't know much about her.
B: Oh. OK, if you have any questions, you can ask me.
A: Great, thanks. Who did she marry?
B: Prince Charles.
A: How many children did she have?
B: Two. Prince William and Prince Harry.
A: How much legacy did she bequeath?
B: It is estimated that the sum she left was more than twenty million pounds.
A: Wow, so much! Then how did she deal with her property in her will?
B: Her two sons inherited it, of course. Both of her sons share the right of the inheritance. They are the legal successors.She made it clear in her will that they both couldn't get access to the inheritance until they were 25. And the amount of money they can draw each year is limited.
A: Oh, wow. That's enough. Thank you very much.
B: You are welcome.
