Princess Diana’s childhood home of The Althorp Estate is a prestigious and historic property in Northamptonshire but it is not set to be inherited by either Prince Harry or Prince William.

This expansive estate which covers over 13,000 acres has been the Spencer family’s ancestral home for more than five centuries will be passed to the prince’s cousin Louis, son of Earl Spencer, Diana’s younger brother.

Despite having three older sisters, 30 year old Viscount Althorp, Louis, will inherit the estate due to the aristocracy’s system of primogeniture, which sees titles passed down to the eldest son, rather than the firstborn child.

The estate is where Diana spent her younger years and serves as her final resting place. Over the years, Althorp has been carefully preserved and remains a testament to the Spencer family’s legacy.

At present, the Althorp Estate is owned by Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, who has overseen numerous events and exhibitions at Althorp, including tributes to Diana’s philanthropic work and life, the Express reports.

Born in 1994, Louis is the eldest son of Charles Spencer and his first wife, Victoria Lockwood. As the heir apparent, Louis is next in line to become the 10th Earl Spencer, a title that comes with the duty of managing the Althorp Estate.

Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp, keeps a relatively low profile, unlike some of his more famous kin. He studied at the University of Edinburgh before refining his acting chops at a drama school in Chiswick, London.

He’s now represented by Tavistock Wood talent agency and an insider revealed to The Telegraph: “He’s super private and gets on quietly with his thing.
