The lush English countryside is once again the backdrop for a royal family feud as tensions escalate between Prince Harry and Prince William over the inheritance of their mother Princess Diana‘s childhood home, Althorp.
The stately Spencer family estate has now been passed down to William’s eldest child, George, sparking fury in Harry, the Duke of Sussex.
Sources close to the royal family have disclosed that Harry perceives the inheritance of Althorp by William’s son as yet another instance of favoritism towards his brother and his family, leaving him feeling excluded.
The issue of Althorp’s ownership has been a sensitive topic within the royal household since Princess Diana’s tragic passing in 1997.
Upon her death, the estate was inherited by her brother, Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, who decreed in his will that the property would ultimately be handed down to the eldest child of Prince William, the future king.
This decision, made twenty-five years ago, has now materialized with 10-year-old Prince George officially becoming the new custodian of Althorp.
For Prince Harry, who holds cherished memories of his childhood visits to the grand country manor, this development stirs deep resentment.
Althorp was a place of solace and joy during dark times in his life, making it difficult for him to accept that it will now be under the ownership of William’s son rather than remaining within the Spencer family.
Reports of a growing rift between the once-close brothers, fueled by perceived favoritism within the royal family, have been circulating for years.
The Althorp inheritance saga has further inflamed these longstanding issues, with Harry reportedly incensed that William continues to receive symbols of their mother’s legacy.
The personal nature of the feud is evident in claims that Harry confronted William directly, accusing him of selfishly securing the Spencer estate for his son.
The emotional outburst, “It’s my mom’s property, William!
Why does George get to inherit it while my children are left with nothing?”
underscores the depth of Harry’s feelings on the matter.
As observers ponder whether the brothers can reconcile or if Princess Diana’s memory will forever cast a shadow over their relationship, one thing remains clear – the battle for Althorp is ongoing, with repercussions expected to reverberate within the royal family for years to come.
