Princess Diana’s brother plans to leave his Althorp estate to his SON instead of his eldest child, daughter Lady Kitty Spencer
PRINCESS Diana’s younger brother, Earl Spencer has revealed he plans to leave the Spencer family estate to his son, despite him having an older daughter.
William and Harry’s uncle admits that he wishes to leave Althorp estate to his son Viscount Louis Spencer, 25, instead of his eldest child Lady Kitty, 28.
In doing so the father-of-seven will be sticking to the archaic tradition of male primogeniture which sees the eldest son inherit property, titles and fortunes.
Despite the practice being considered outdated and has been abandoned by the royal family, Earl Spencer sees no fault in it.
Speaking to he said: “Is it any fairer that the eldest child gets it instead of the eldest male? Whatever you say is a selection.”
Diana’s brother may be of this thinking because he inherited the estate over his elder sisters Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Jane Fellowes, Baroness Fellowes, and Princess Diana.
It is also available to rent for a week with a five-course dinner priced at £300 a head, breakfast is £500 and you have to fork out £10,000 to have it served to you in the picture gallery.
The full Monty is £75,000 meaning that drama student Louis will inherit a nice little earner.
