The odds are non-existent because the most likely candidate, Sir Covid Tom Moore, carked before Phil the Greek. A more pertinent question is that did the wake have shish kebabs rather than sausage rolls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prince Philip's will to be secret for 90 years - BBC News I was just reading this. I'm curious who the full list of 30 sealed wills are. I haven't done any digging into whose wills were published or not but presumably among the 30 are: Prince Philip, Queen Mum, Princess Margaret, Diana?, Earl Mountbatten, George VI, Queen Mary of Teck, George V, old Duke of Kent, old Duke of Gloucester, Francis of Teck, maybe Edward VIII? Even then, that's less than half. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even then, that's less than half. Diana's is in the public domain already. You will have to wait until the intended annex listing them is published. If that ever happens of course. Presumably they are all quite high up the line. Wives/Husbands might also count I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
