Ruling on Duke of Edinburgh's will made to protect ‘dignity’ of Queen and her constitutional role

The Duke of Edinburgh’s will is to remain secret to protect the “dignity” of the Queen because of her constitutional role, the high court has ruled. Philip – the nation’s longest-serving consort – died aged 99 on 9 April, just two months before he would have turned 100.

We now know the name of Nicolas Cage's next movie: National Treasure: The Duke's Will

I wonder how we should consider this as a revenge from the Royal family toward Prince Harry (aka the Moron).

My bad , folks. I am the illegitimate grandson of the Duke of Edinburgh, and he bequeathed me some money and hereditary titles due to the close nature of our relationship, and that information should have been held close to the vest. RIP Pee-Pop.

🤔

So what?

Who cares?

The queen is definitely gonna be there to read it when it's unsealed

Is that in case he comes back from the dead again?

I cannot guess what indignity could this will reveal? 🤔Secret offspring? Everybody will be dead 90 years from now, what's the point?

Will humanity make it 😂

He left it all to a mistress?

Let’s hope that generation are enjoying an abolished monarchy by then. I doubt it though.

To prevent people asking where all that money came from? Or to hide his numerous affairs? Anything to distract from Prince Andrew being served?

He worked for us, the family is there due to conquest! Everything they own belongs to us or another country through conquest, not a god given right! We no longer need a family who are above the law, make them all citizens with no special privileges abolishthemonarchy

Tax the royals.

Just makes wonder whats in it?!?

So, if Prince George lives as long as his great grandfather, he might find out if he was left something? 🤓

I'm not sure why I or anyone else would need to be mad about this, but people find reason to be mad about anything.

His heirs will have to be patient.

Sus

Remember everyone apparently “they work for you”

Two thoughts went through my head: I will be very dead by then, AND I don't actually care.

Who cares.

Smells like tax evasion!

AbolishTheMonarchy

Seeing as most of his stuff was bought by us we should be able to know what's happening to it.

So inheritance tax implications will be well hidden from public scrutiny!

Fair enough, but now I want to know why. Before, I had no interest in it at all! perverse

Stashed away in tax havens perhaps?

What needs hiding?

I thought all wills became public documents after death, how can anyone contest it otherwise?

That’s equality for all us plebs

Fantastic but i bet its loadsamoney.Who cares what Wills or Harry got. I wonder who got the `purdey.

So he spent his entire life sucking money away from the British taxpayer and now that he's finally done, the public doesn't even get to know where their money went. Cool and normal!

Good

What else you can expect from an Orwellian society with 'equal' and 'more equal'...

Ohhh I can't wait!

some pretty ignorant comments here. standard procedure. BTW the the papers covering the Abdication of Edward VIII were locked up for 100 years. 2036.

These wills were made secret when the royals made money secretly… gofigure

based on what law?

But even if nations stand up and cry for democracy, in vain, but you continue to fund or rather support our oppressors, so nations are perturbed, were should we run to, in Nigeria Ethiopia WorldBank IMFNews amnesty robertamsterdam amnestyusa ,hrw.

Perfect timing! Human beings will be gone from the earth by then, royally screwed by themselves!

Very modern and accountable. 🤔

Makes you wonder what part of his will would be undignified for the Queen.

Other kids?
