Prince William and Prince Harry, often seen as central figures in Britain’s modern monarchy, were not included in the will of their late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, whose estate was valued at just over £1.5 million (approx. $1.9 million USD).
The longtime royal adviser and former private secretary to Queen Elizabeth II died in July 2023 at the age of 82.
Lord Fellowes, who was married to Lady Jane Fellowes – the elder sister of the late Princess Diana – had longstanding ties to the royal family.
Yet despite these connections, the Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales did not receive any inheritance from their maternal uncle’s estate, according to probate records released this month.

Legal documents confirm that the entire estate was passed on to his wife, Lady Jane, with the exception of a few modest donations. Among the bequests were:
- £1,000 (approx. $1,270 USD) to a local hospice
- £500 (approx. $635 USD) to St Mary’s Church in Snettisham, where his memorial was held
- £5,000 (approx. $6,350 USD) to Eton College
- £1,000 (approx. $1,270 USD) to estate handyman Andrew Grange
The rest of the estate, totaling £1,517,418 (approx. $1,926,125 USD), was left to his spouse.
Brothers attended memorial service but did not speak
Both Prince William and Prince Harry were present at their uncle’s memorial service in Norfolk last August – their first joint appearance in months amid ongoing tensions between the brothers.
The service was held at St Mary’s Church in Snettisham, a village where Lord Fellowes was highly regarded.
According to Reverend Dan Tansley, who officiated the memorial, “It was a lovely service and there were a lot of people who wanted to be there for someone who was really well-respected in the village.
It was only as I was greeting the congregation on the way out that Prince William was shaking my hand, and then very quickly after Prince Harry did too.”
While the brothers were in attendance, reports suggest there was no interaction between the two.
“I don’t recollect them speaking to each other,” Reverend Tansley said, though he added that the presence of both men “would have meant a lot to Lord Robert… because I know both he and his auntie love them both very much.”
Lord Fellowes had a distinguished career within the royal household, serving as the Queen’s private secretary throughout the 1990s – a period of personal and institutional upheaval for the monarchy.
He was elevated to the peerage as Baron Fellowes in 1999 and maintained a low public profile after retirement.
While his decision to leave his estate entirely to his wife follows common estate planning practices, the omission of his royal nephews has drawn attention given their close family ties.
The revelation comes at a time when relations between William and Harry remain strained, further highlighted by their distant behavior at the service.
Despite the exclusion, the legacy of Lord Fellowes remains one of discretion and loyalty – values that defined his decades of service to the Crown.

What I’m seeing from Canucks’ top prospects in AHL playoffs
The Abbotsford Canucks are one win away from reaching the AHL Western Conference Finals.Vancouver’s minor-league affiliate pushed the Colorado Eagles to the brink of elimination by taking a 2-1 lead in this best-of-five series after a thrilling, come-from-behind 3-2 overtime win on Wednesday.It’s impressive that the junior Canucks have reached this point despite injuries to key players like Aatu Räty, Christian Wolanin, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki during various points of this playoff run.AdvertisementRäty, their top centre, hasn’t played since Game 2 against Coachella Valley last round.

Květ přestupuje z Plzně do Belgie
Květ přišel do Plzně v zimní přestávce sezony 2022/23 po velmi vydařeném angažmá v Bohemians Praha 1905. Ve Viktorii se ale neprosadil, velká očekávání nenaplnil a už minulý ročník strávil na hostování v tureckém Sivassporu.V končící sezoně působil v Denderu. S nováčkem belgické nejvyšší soutěže se po 12. místě v základní části vyhnul boji o záchranu a v nadstavbě si s ním zahrál skupinu o účast v Konferenční lize. V dosavadních 38 soutěžních duelech v tomto ročníku si Květ za Dender připsal sedm branek a jednu asistenci, na přelomu dubna a května skóroval ve třech zápasech po sobě.
Why Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc is happy being F1’s renaissance man
Since he won the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix, life hasn’t changed significantly for Charles Leclerc.That Sunday afternoon was filled with emotion as the Monegasque achieved a dream he’d shared with his late father, Herve. He even started tearing up with two laps to go — memories flashing through his mind. Monaco is where he grew up, where he went to school and where he watched Formula 1 cars zip through his streets each year.AdvertisementSeason after season after he reached the top level of single seaters in 2018, Leclerc faced questions about whether he’d ever be successful at his home race. Such was his misfortune — going back to a botched weekend in Formula 2 in 2017 — some labeled it a ‘curse’. While Leclerc dismissed such notions, after securing Monaco pole position in 2021 and 2022, the Ferrari driver didn’t […]
Procházkův konkurent si zoufá. Soupeři ho odmítají, tým pokukuje po Pereirovi
Skoro se až zdá, že rodák z Dagestánu dělá možné i nemožné k tomu, aby některého z rivalů nalákal do klece. Soupeře často popichuje na sociálních sítích a leckdy se nebojí zajít ani za pomyslnou hranu slovních útoku, což pocítil například i třetí nejlépe postavený muž žebříčku divize do 93 kilogramů Jiří Procházka. „Nechci říct, že je to mezi námi osobní, ale už je tam trochu jiná rovina,“ povídá český bijec.32letý Ankalajev se toužil do bojiště vrátit již na chystaném galavečeru UFC 317 28. června v Las Vegas, kde v úvahu připadali dva soupeři – Alex Pereira a právě Procházka. Ani jeden však na nabídku nekývl. „Stěžejní je pro mě udělat magisterské zkoušky,“ uváděl pro Sport.cz rodák z Hostěradic, jenž by osmý střet za oceánem měl svést až zhruba v září.Magomed Ankalaev says he's the one who hacked Alex Pereira's account 😭"It was me I hacked his account.
