Princess Diana's home will be inherited by actor – not Prince William or Prince Harry
ok.co.ukPrince William and Prince Harry may be in line for the throne, but there's one thing they'll never inherit - their mother Princess Diana's childhood home.The Althorp Estate, which has been in the Spencer family since 1508, will instead go to their cousin Louis, son of Earl Spencer, Diana's brother Charles.
Despite having three older sisters, 30-year-old Viscount Althorp, Louis, will inherit the estate due to the aristocracy's system of primogeniture, where titles are passed down to the oldest boy, not the firstborn child.The sprawling 13,500-acre estate is where Diana spent her childhood and was laid to rest after her tragic death in 1997.
It opens its doors to visitors every summer. Louis, who works as an actor, tends to keep a low profile, but that didn't stop Tatler from naming him one of their "top eligible bachelors" in 2019.
Born Louis Frederick John Spencer on March 14, 1994, he is the son of Earl Spencer and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood.This makes him the nephew of the late Diana and her sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Baroness Jane Fellowes, reports the Mirror.
