It seems odd to me that there would appear to be no public-interest argument in not continuing a practice that was put in place back in 1910 in order to prevent controversy and preserve the image of the royal family.
It also strikes me as odd that it was deemed that no public-interest representations would be required, as it was deemed that the public interest was being served by the presence of the Attorney General.
That's despite the fact that the AG argued with the Queen's solicitor that the will should be sealed for an even longer period of time, and also argued with the Crown that a public hearing would not be in the public interest.

Must admit I have absolutely no interested in seeing it, why would I?
and anyway it probably just says 'I pass everything to my spouse" so there is nothing to see anyway
I couldn't have cared less anyway, but it's this whole secrecy business (with the Government in cahoots) that then raises a red flag and suggests that something is amiss.
Suddenly I'm intrigued to see it, if only because it seems that there's something in it that they (either the Royal Family, the Government, or both) would rather was not for public comsumption.
The will of every relative of mine (and yours, and everyone else in the UK) who has passed away is available for the public to see, but not theirs.

If you are that interested I can send you a copy of my will
Other than as part of my job I have no interest in seeing anyone else’s
Equerry “Your highness, can you confirm, in your will there is a redacted beneficiary receiving several million pounds and all it says next to his name is ‘services rendered in 1997’, is this correct?” Big Phil “Just follow the instructions my boy and your family doesn’t get hurt”
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

I wonder if it’s because something has been left to Andrew, which could be seen as a sensitive matter at this point?
Is that standard for those closest to the throne? Makes sense if everybody named in it is also dead by the time it’s public. Might be practice to prevent a constitutional issue, illegitimate children etc.
But can’t say I’m bothered. As others have said, it’s not that interesting and I think we should expect/respect his privacy.
Also it’s my castle now and I’ll do what I damn well please with it.

Unless it was a turd in a box
Might still be worth something, give it to The Franklin Mint and they would cut it up into five thousand pieces and sell each one submerged in formaldehyde and glass encased for U$27.99 plus sales tax a pop.

That was the popular theory amongst the expats in Bogota 20 years ago egged on by the guy in "janitorial" services at the embassy.
