We’ll never know the exact value of Prince Philip, the longest-serving consort, because the High Court decided that it must remain a secret in order to safeguard the “dignity” of the Queen.

Two months before he would have reached 100, on April 9, the Duke of Edinburgh passed away at the age of 99, and as has been custom for more than a century, a request to have his will sealed was made to the head of the High Court’s Family Division.

The Queen Mother’s will was also kept private, but that doesn’t mean that rumors don’t spread, as it became out that she gave Prince Harry more than Prince William in her will.

As the legal dispute over Prince Philip’s will rages on, we’ve now looked at some of the Royal wills that have been circulated over the years, including Princess Diana’s.

Queen’s mother

The Queen Mother reportedly set aside a sizable sum of money to be divided among all of her great-grandchildren, but she stipulated that Prince Harry would receive a larger share than Prince William.

The brothers had £14 million to divide between them when she passed away at age 101, but as was agreed upon, the younger brother fared better.

The Queen Mother’s choice is justified by the way the royal family’s finances function.

This implies that he will acquire the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate that supports the heir to the throne’s public, philanthropic, and personal endeavors. Harry won’t receive any of this, on the other hand.

After the Queen Mother passed away, Buckingham Palace made several will-related revelations after requesting a confidentiality order from the High Court.

Her daughter the Queen received her estate, which was worth at between £50 million and £70 million at the time.

Princess Diana Princess Diana unfortunately passed away at the age of 36 after an automobile accident in Paris’ Pont de l’Alma tunnel.

Not everyone of her early age would have considered to have written a will, but the mother of two had done so because she came from an aristocratic family and had once been married to the heir presumptive to the British throne.

Diana left a significant bequest in her will that not only provided for her kids, Princes William and Harry, but also for her godchildren and favorite employees.

The appendix to the former Princess of Wales’ will states that the net value of her estate was more than £21 million at the time of her death in 1997.
