After World War I, Eugenie lived long enough to see the collapse of other European monarchies, such as those of Russia, Germany and [[Austria-Hungary]]. She left her possessions to various relatives: her Spanish estates went to the grandsons of her sister Paca; the house in Farnborough with all collections to the heir of her son, Prince [[Victor, Prince Napoléon|Victor Bonaparte]]; Villa Cyrnos to his sister [[Maria Letizia Bonaparte|Princess Laetitia of Aosta]]. Liquid assets were divided into three parts and given to the above relatives except for the sum of 100,000 francs bequeathed to the Committee for Rebuilding the [[Cathedral of Reims]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2011}}
