Princess Diana’s childhood home reportedly won’t be inherited by her sons, Prince Harry and Prince William. It is the final resting place of the late princess. Her brother, Earl Charles Spencer, owns the property and currently resides there. As reported by Fox News Digital, Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal expert, told them that it has always been expected that the ancestral home would pass down to the next Earl Spencer, who is Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp. He is Princess Diana’s nephew and the first cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry.
Princess Diana’s childhood home will be inherited by Prince Harry and Prince William’s cousin
A royal expert has reportedly explained why Prince Harry and Prince William will not be inheriting the ancestral home of their beloved late mother, Princess Diana. The property was always supposed to go to the Princess of Wales’ brother’s family.
Per Fox News Digital, Richard Fitzwilliams, the royal expert, said, “It would pass to the male heir even though Kitty Spencer is the current earl’s eldest child.” The person continued, “No way would William and Harry get the property.” The expert then questioned, “Why on Earth would someone think they should?”
In the meantime, another royal expert, Ian Pelham Turner, also expressed his thoughts on the matter. He said to the news outlet that the rules of property inheritance date back centuries. The person stated, “In terms of Harry and William becoming the heirs to the Althorp estate, legally, they have no rights.” Turner continued, “But I think they will always be closely associated with the maintenance of the estate and Diana’s resting place.” The expert also questioned, “Do I agree with this method still being used in the 21st century?”
After that, Ian Pelham Turner said, “Any rules that affect women through historical degradation are abhorrent to me. The person further stated, “However, the wealthy classes still adhere to outdated practices.”
Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp, was in South Africa while growing up. According to the news outlet, he is an actor who maintains a low profile.
