When is a gift not a gift?

The Queen’s will is to remain hidden from the public for at least 90 years in line with a century-old tradition.

The document will be sealed and locked in a safe in an undisclosed location in London along with those of other deceased royals.

The practice dates back to 1910 after the death of Prince Francis of Teck, the younger brother of Queen Mary and grandmother of the late Queen.

His will was the first of more than 30 kept under lock and key in the safe, which is under the care of a judge.

Convention rules that the executor of their will applies to the head of the London High Court’s Family Division for it to be sealed.

Wills should be private, there is enough stress dealing with an Enlarged Probate.

Harry will not be homeless if he visits the UK:

The King will reportedly offer the Duke and Duchess of Sussex an old suite of rooms that previously belonged to the Duke of York in Buckingham Palace as their UK residence, after asking them to vacate Frogmore Cottage.

Second-hand rooms - how demeaning for Meghan … :laughing:

Oh woe poor things downgraded to a flat in Buckingham Palace! :rofl:

That’s all they need, they do not come here very often. A stay in a Travelodge might be a cheaper option for them. PS should they not be called the ‘ex Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ now they have moved away from the Royal Family.
