A judge in Britain decides that Prince Philip’s will should be kept secret for 90 years because it is not “in the public interest” to release it. This sparked more speculation about the financial habits of the British Royal Family coming on top of scandals involving Princes Charles, Andrew and Harry (with Meghan). The Guardian takes a cynical view. [What fresh hell must Philip’s will contain to make the royal family look any worse?” by Catherine Bennett, The Observer online, 21 November 2021]. Apparently, it is existing protocol not to release royal wills although the contents of many of them have been revealed in the past.
