'Talented' actor to inherit Princess Diana's childhood home instead of William and Harry

dailyrecord.co.uk:

One day Prince William will inherit the crown and all the responsibilities that go with it, but there is one thing neither he nor brother Prince Harry will ever inherit.

And that is their mother Princess Diana's childhood home and the site of her final resting place. The Althorp Estate, the seat of the Spencer family since 1508, will instead pass to their cousin Louis, the son of the current Earl Spencer - Diana's brother, Charles, writes The Mirror.Despite having three older sisters, Louis - the 29-year-old Viscount Althorp - will inherit the estate because of the system of primogeniture that exists in the aristocracy which means titles are passed down to the oldest boy and not the firstborn child.The 13,500-acre estate was where Diana spent her childhood, and where she was laid to rest after her tragic death in 1997.

The estate is open to visitors every summer.Louis - who is an actor - is said to keep a relatively low profile, but that didn't stop Tatler from crowning him as one of their "top eligible bachelors" back in 2019.Born Louis Frederick John Spencer on March 14, 1994, the maternal cousin of William and Harry is the child 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.

And he has often been called the "poster boy for primogeniture".Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and
