Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Devraj Singh, 28, and his sister Lalitya, 30, said: “We are the only natural legal heirs entitled to succeed. Her last will, in our favour, was left with his Highness Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singhji of Jaipur … this is in the knowledge of all family members.”

Though they did not reveal details of the will, HT found out it is a one-page unregistered document, written in English, and says: “all my movable and immovable properties will go to my grandchildren Devraj Singh and Lalitya”.

Two of Gayatri Devi’s step-sons, Jai Singh, 76, and Prithviraj Singh, 74, are reportedly upset and refused to comment on Devi’s grandchildren’s claim.
