Prince Harry and Prince William Won't Inherit Late Mom Princess Diana's Childhood Home–Here's Who Will

Prince William and Prince Harry wear black suits, and Princess Diana's ancestral home of Althorp House.

Princess Diana grew up on the Althorp Estate, which is also her final resting place. Diana is buried on Oval Island in the middle of Oval Lake, a remote spot on the historic estate. Despite being an incredibly important property for both Prince Harry and Prince William, the royal brothers won't inherit their mother's ancestral home.

During a recent visit to the U.K., Prince Harry stayed at Althorp House with his uncle, Charles Spencer. Even though the Duke of Sussex has remained close to Diana's family, he's not in line to inherit the place she grew up. As reported by the Express, the Althorp Estate has been "the ancestral seat of the Spencer family for more than five centuries." As a result, the expansive property and its land will be handed down to Charles Spencer's son, Louis, Viscount Althorp.
