Harry and William denied inheritance of Princess Diana’s childhood home which will go to film star
Princess Diana’s childhood home of The Althorp Estate is a prestigious and historic property in Northamptonshire but it is not set to be inherited by either Prince Harry or Prince William.
This expansive estate which covers over 13,000 acres has been the Spencer family’s ancestral home for more than five centuries will be passed to the prince’s cousin Louis, son of Earl Spencer, Diana’s younger brother
Despite having three older sisters, 30 year old Viscount Althorp, Louis, will inherit the estate due to the aristocracy’s system of primogeniture, which sees titles passed down to the eldest son, rather than the firstborn child.
The estate is where Diana spent her younger years and serves as her final resting place. Over the years, Althorp has been carefully preserved and remains a testament to the Spencer family’s legacy.
At present, the Althorp Estate is owned by Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, who has overseen numerous events and exhibitions at Althorp, including tributes to Diana’s philanthropic work and life, the Express reports.
