Prince PhilipHis will will not be published for quite some time.
After he passed away in AprilThe Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has ruled that the content of Prince Philip remains the same private for at least 90 years. After this decision, Guardians legally challenged the fact that members of the media were not present at the July 2021 hearing in which the ruling was passed, according to BBC News. Although the agency argued that there was a “lack of external oversight”, the judges have now dismissed Guardiansrequest of.
Why? The judges, Sir Geoffrey Vos, Dame Victoria Sharp and Lady Justice King, ruled on July 29 that there were “exceptions” to the decision made in private, according to the outlet. The ruling found that there was no obligation to tell the press about the hearing as it would risk a “media storm”.
“These cases, as we have said, are exceptional,” the ruling said. “We’re not sure there’s a particular public interest in knowing how the Royal Family’s assets are distributed.”
