Prince Philip's will to remain private for 90 years, court decides.
LONDON — The will of Prince Philip, the late husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, will be sealed and remain private for at least 90 years to preserve the monarch's dignity, a judge at London's High Court has ruled.
He said the convention was that following the death of a senior royal, an application to seal the will was made to the Family Division president, with such hearings and judgments kept private. The judge said 90 years should pass from the granting of probate before the will should be unsealed in private before possible publication, a period he said was"proportionate and sufficient".
