Prince Harry and Prince William Seemingly Omitted From Uncle’s Will

The brothers’ uncle, Lord Fellowes, died in July last year.

Prince William and Prince Harry’s late uncle Lord Fellowes has left the majority of his million dollar fortune behind to his wife, court documents revealed Thursday. Princess Diana’s brother-in-law, Robert Fellowes, reportedly bestowed most of his £1.5 million fortune (around $2 million) to his wife, Baroness Fellowes, Hello! magazine reports. The publication notes that it’s “understood” neither Harry nor William were left anything in Fellowes’ will which was made in June 2012. He also left donations to several institutions including St. Mary’s Church and Tapping House Hospice. Fellowes, who married Prince Diana’s sister in 1978, began working for the late Queen Elizabeth a year prior as an assistant private secretary. He was later promoted to deputy private secretary in 1986 and to private secretary in 1990. Fellowes died in July 2024 at the age of 82. Harry and William both attended their uncle’s memorial service in August last year, though it was reported at the time that they avoided each other.
