The public will not soon find out what is in Prince Philip's will.
His last will remains a secret for 90 years.
It lies well sealed in hiding.
London - The royal family is entitled to a higher level of privacy, a London judge at the High Court ruled when it came to the disclosure of the will of Prince Philip (99, † 2021) in September.
Queen Elizabeth II's husband (95) died in April at the age of 99.
As has now become known, his will will be kept in a special London location and not alone *.

The judge responsible, Sir Andrew McFarlane (67), does not know the content of the will *, according to the BBC.
However, it has been customary for over a century for a court to be asked to seal the will after the death of a high-ranking member of the royals *.
Only after 90 years could there be a procedure to decide whether it can be viewed by the public.

The last will of the late Duke of Edinburgh * has since been kept in a top secret London vault, along with the wills of 32 other high-ranking members of the royal family.
The safe is in the care of Judge McFarlane and goes back to the last wishes of Prince Francis von Teck (22, † 2010).
