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. FILE PHOTO
Dismissing the newspaper's appeal, senior judges Geoffrey Vos and Victoria Sharp ruled that notifying the media about the hearing would have risked a publicity storm. But the judges said the circumstances of the case were "exceptional", and that UK probate rules "allow wills and their values to be concealed from the public gaze in some cases".
