WASHINGTON — Pamela Harriman, the U.S. ambassador to France who died earlier this month, bequeathed her only son, Winston S. Churchill, and his estranged wife, Mary Churchill, her lavish homes, acres of property and jewels.
Harriman’s gardeners, cook and butler also will share in the estimated $10-million estate under the will Harriman, 76, drew up a month before she died of a stroke on Feb. 5, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.
The estate is far short of what it was two years ago, when Harriman and her late husband’s heirs squabbled over what at one time was a $100-million estate the late New York Gov. Averell Harriman left his family. He died in 1986.
