Lord Fellowes’ Will Excludes Princes William, Harry

The will of Lord Robert Fellowes, uncle to Princes William and Harry and former private secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, revealed that neither prince received any inheritance from his £1.5 million ($2 million) estate. The majority of the estate was left to his wife, Lady Jane Fellowes, with smaller bequests to Eton College, Tapping House Hospice, St. Mary’s Church, and a longtime handyman. William and Harry both attended Lord Fellowes’s memorial service in Norfolk in August 2024 but reportedly did not interact, highlighting ongoing tensions. The exclusion of the princes from the will is seen as notable given Lord Fellowes’s close royal ties. Recent reports indicate the rift between the brothers has deepened, particularly after Harry’s public statements about his security and family relations. King Charles III is reportedly not inclined to reach out to Harry at this time.
