Prince Philip: – Gives away a wild sum after his death

It has now been less than two months ago Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, passed away. The prince managed to turn 99 years old, and died of old age.

In the time after the death became known, there are many who have been in grief. Of course, that also includes family and friends, as well as his employees.

That one should be allowed to inherit money is of course far from a matter of course, but Prince Philip must have been very careful to show gratitude to his employees.

So much so that he has now given them millions after his death.

Gives away millions

The Sun has in fact spoken to sources close to Buckingham Palace, who have had access to the will. It is clear that the prince did not just let his royal possessions go to his wife, Queen Elizabeth (95).

The Duke of Edinburgh has chosen to give extra attention to three of his staff, with whom he is said to have been very close.

– Unlike some other royals, Prince Philip will be generous with the three men who looked after him, the source says.

This includes his private secretary Brigadier Archie Miller Bakewell, William Henderson and valet Stephen Niedojadlo. All three have played an important role in the prince’s life, especially in recent years.

Bakewell has attended events in the prince’s place the times he himself has not been able to attend. Henderson and Niedojadlo have also taken good care of him at Sandringham, and the former was by the prince’s side during his last two days at Windsor Castle.

The inheritance will be around 30 million pounds, which is equivalent to 355 million Norwegian kroner.

– Would not punish a grandson

However, it is not only his employees who get to take part in the legacy. Of course, his grandchildren also get their share – including Prince Harry (36), despite his strained relationship with the rest of the royal family.

The source says that the 36-year-old’s disagreements with the family should have little to say for the will, since grandfather Philip was after all very fond of Harry.

– Philip was not the person who would punish a grandson for behaving badly. He was a very fair, sensible and wonderful man. He never bore grudges. Philip had plenty of time to sort out all the legal matters so that it would not attract inheritance tax. He was no more a fan of handing over his money to the state treasury than anyone else, the source continues.

The prince’s four children, Prince Charles (72), Princess Anne (70), Prince Andrew (61) and Prince Edward (57), have also been told to supply themselves freely from his library at Buckingham Palace. There should be about 13,000 books.

According to Vanity Fair the prince, before he was admitted to hospital, must have spent much of his time signing photographs of himself, so that they could be framed and given away as gifts after his death.

Buckingham Palace did not want to confirm the information to The Sun.

“This is a personal matter for the family, and such information is private,” said a spokesman.
