A British High Court has ruled that the Duke of Edinburgh’s will is to remain secret for at least 90 years to protect the dignity and standing of the Queen.
The hearing into the application to seal the will was held in private in July by Sir Andrew McFarlane, the most senior judge in the family courts.
The Judge heard arguments from lawyers representing the duke’s estate and the attorney general, the government’s chief legal adviser, and published his ruling yesterday.
It has been the convention for over a century that, after the death of a senior member of the Royal Family, the courts are asked to seal their wills.
