UK Newspaper The Guardian Loses Court Battle Over Prince Philip's Will

A High Court judge in September 2021 ruled the will should remain sealed for 90 years, to protect the privacy of his widow, Queen Elizabeth II, and other royals.

British newspaper The Guardian on Friday lost its legal challenge against a decision banning the media from a court case about Prince Philip's will.

A High Court judge in September 2021 ruled the will should remain sealed for 90 years, to protect the privacy of his widow, Queen Elizabeth II, and other royals.

The hearing was held in private and media organisations were not allowed to attend.

The newspaper took legal action against the attorney general, who is the government's chief law officer, and the Queen's private lawyers, saying the media should have been allowed access.
