Prince Philip’s will will hide behind closed doors for a long time, just like that of 32 other royals. The reason for that? Privacy for the royal family. Behind closed doors, you can take it literally: the wills are kept in a vault, supervised by Supreme Court Justice Sir Andrew McFarlane. The monarchy itself calls it a tradition to protect the last wishes of their relatives, while that tradition was not introduced until 1910. An adulterous prince was responsible for the cover-up of royal wills.
