Diana’s childhood home, Althorp estate, is set to be inherited by a former Edinburgh student, her nephew, Louis Spencer.
The property, which has been in the Spencer family since 1508 is currently run by her brother, Earl Spencer and his wife.
Due to the aristocracy system primogeniture, which favours the eldest son, Louis, rather than his three older sisters, will inherit the land when his father passes on.
Despite being born in London, Louis grew up in Cape Town, South Africa where he attended one of the most expensive private schools there.
