“Unlike some other royals, Prince Philip will be generous to the three men who looked after him,” the insider told The Sun. (RELATED: REPORT: Queen Elizabeth II’s Physician Reveals Prince Philip’s Cause Of Death)
“These include his private secretary, Brigadier Archie Miller Bakewell, his page William Henderson and valet Stephen Niedojadlo,” the source reportedly added.
The insider claimed Prince Harry would be included in the will.
“Philip was not the sort of character to punish a grandson for misbehaving,” the source told The Sun. “He was a very fair, even-handed and lovely man. Never held a grudge.”
The palace did not confirm the contents of the will or the recipients.
“This is a personal matter for the family and as such arrangements are private,” the palace said in a statement to The Sun.
Philip was 99 years old at the time of his death.
The royal family announced Prince Philip died at Windsor Castle on April 9. The family celebrated the life of the Duke of Edinburgh on April 17.
The prince’s death was caused by “old age,” the death certificate said, according to Telegraph. The outlet noted the description used for the Duke of Edinburgh’s cause of death is common for people over the age of 80 years old who have been experiencing a “gradual decline.”
Before his death, Prince Philip was hospitalized on Feb. 16 as a “precautionary measure” for “observation and rest,” as previously reported. He later had a heart procedure before returning home from the month-long hospital stay.
