A judge ruled Thursday that the will of the late Prince Philip should remain secret to protect the “dignity” of his widow Queen Elizabeth II, who is Britain’s head of state.

Philip died in April at the age of 99 after more than seven decades of marriage to the queen.

Judge Andrew McFarlane said Philip’s will should be sealed for 90 years. After that, it can be be opened in private and consideration given to whether it should be published. In the years that followed, a man who claimed to be Margaret’s illegitimate son, Robert Brown, fought a failed court battle to have both wills unsealed in order to seek evidence for his claim.

Carol36994460 If his wealth just like other royals with the exception of Prince Harry is made through the public tax, it becomes illogical that the will based on the accumulation from public wealth should be private.

He probably admitted to offing Diana and knowing about his son's pedophilic hobbies

What’s so secret in his will that they have to protect it? 🤔

Royal “Dignity”? I think that went out the window with all the affairs & divorces within the “Royal Family”!😜

Yes and in 90 years who nobody will be alive 3-4 generations it will open .. Like the pope .. nothing will cross the monarchy 30 files in volt with the willes if first in class in royal family clossed secrets .Yes pour little old woman.Well the tourist attraction will continue

Still covering up nazi ties? Or his flings? Secretly born children?

its sad that people actually let these people have power over them...lmfao apparently the queen owns all the swans and some sea life around the UK..like damn you aint god. them swans aint yours rightfully hahaha

Must some bad shit in there

I am the head of state and Henry is the King.

a seal of 90 years is perfect, She might abdicate the throne by then 😅

I can’t wait for the Contempory/Historcal fiction novels based off of this story. I really just can’t wait. 😂😂

Strange is this judicial readings!

Well I'm sure they've paid inheritance tax as well as pay all the utility bills etc so that his house ( sorry castles and palaces ) were all in order like the rest of us . We must have got a fortune from that

That is the stupidest rule I've ever heard.

Why would one lose dignity for publicly diplaying his/her 'genuine, legitimate and clean' wealth?

Same crapy news just different day. News on auto replay lol 😆😂🤣😅😄😋😆😂🤣

Yooo that’s fucked up

GTF that's to hide how much he was worth and STILL creamin of us.

The part about the queens “dignity” is what’s raising brows. Why was that statement needed ?

So he's not leaving anybody anything in THIS lifetime 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's Cold!!

Hopefully 90 years will fly by fast before Prince Philip's will is released princephilip

Boy oh boy some of the comments on here, why the hell should they have to share what's in a will, it's nothing to do with anyone but the person that wrote it and their family/friends. As for comments about not wanting to show how wealthy the Royal's are.. 🤦‍♀️

Why keep it hush ? The queen owns all the sea life in the seas and most of the land in Britain....

Nah.

mariliacz É o que que é?

He left some shit to that mistress of his, that’s what that tells me lol

Uh oh...secret kids? Ex mistresses? Gambling debts?

Who cares ...this family is fucked upped like everyone else 🙄

Why would anyone need to know?

That makes no sense. What are they hiding?

NO ONE CARES, now you're just reporting bs!

If Andrew is still a royal, their is no dignity

This is normal and not newsworthy.
