The Duke of Edinburgh died in April, but his will hasn't yet been published.
“I have held that, because of the constitutional position of the sovereign, it is appropriate to have a special practice in relation to royal wills,”, the judge hearing the case, wrote in documents published on Thursday. “There is a need to enhance the protection afforded to truly private aspects of the lives of this limited group of individuals in order to maintain the dignity of the [queen] and close members of her family.
The decision serves to lower the chances of “compromising the conventional privacy afforded to communications from the sovereign” or “generat[ing] very significant publicity and conjecture” about the contents of Philip’s will. After the 90-year waiting period is complete, the will can be opened in private and it can then be decided whether it should be published.
