Lewis Spencer, the cousin of Prince William and Harry, is set to inherit Princess Diana’s childhood home, the sprawling 13,500-acre Orthorpe Estate in Northamptonshire.
However, he has imposed a strict ban on Meghan and Harry, effective immediately upon taking ownership of the property.
As the eldest son and bearing a striking resemblance to his red-haired cousin, the 27-year-old has earned the nickname “Prince Harry Light” and is next in line to the Spencer Oldham title.
Known for his privacy, Viscount Orthorpe has been described by his elder sister, Lady Kitty Spencer, as a decent and kind individual.
During a discussion about male primogeniture, the tradition that designates Lewis as the rightful heir, Kitty acknowledged the changing times and attitudes surrounding this topic.
She expressed her confidence in Lewis, stating that he will excel in his new role due to his gender.
Lewis has already begun preparations to assume control of the aristocratic estate, attending several trustee meetings in advance.
The Grade 1 listed stately home, Orthorpe House, as well as the Oldham, will be passed down to him.
In 2015, Princess Diana’s brother, the current Earl Spencer, voiced his support for this tradition, citing its alignment with the historical significance of Orthorpe.
As a result, it is rumored that Harry and Meghan will no longer be welcome on the property and will be permanently banned.
The last time they visited was when Harry took Meghan to Diana’s grave last year, after which numerous family conflicts arose.
Speculation has arisen regarding Meghan Markle’s intentions, suggesting that she had always planned to utilize Prince Harry’s name and family connections to further her acting career and financial opportunities.
Interestingly, it appears that she drew inspiration for her schemes from none other than Prince Harry’s late mother, Diana.
Reports claim that Meghan adopted a similar style of clothing, perfume, and even food and drinks, convincing Harry that she resembled his mother.
Her childhood room was adorned with posters and books about Diana and the royal family, including a fake crown.
Furthermore, Lady C, a close acquaintance, asserts that much of Meghan’s Oprah interview was directly borrowed from Diana’s own words.
Lady C also revealed that Diana’s father used to say, “What Diana wants, Diana gets,” and Harry allegedly made a similar statement to his staff, substituting Meghan’s name.
This raises questions about Meghan’s earlier claims of being unaware of the royal family, as her obsession with Diana and her actions appear to be driven by self-interest and personal gain.
It seems that as long as channeling Princess Diana allows her control over Prince Harry, she will continue to exploit the connection.
However, it is speculated that their marriage may not last much longer, as Meghan is expected to file for divorce soon.
Princess Diana spent her formative years at Sandringham and Althorp House, which served as her home before marrying Prince Charles in 1981.
Althorp House, spanning an impressive 100,000 square feet with 90 rooms and a portrait gallery, holds immense sentimental value for the Spencer family.
Additionally, they own properties in London, Northamptonshire, Norfolk, and Warwickshire.
Following Diana’s tragic death in 1997, she was laid to rest on a small island within the estate’s ornamental round oval lake.
In conclusion, Lewis Spencer’s inheritance of Princess Diana’s childhood home, Orthorpe Estate, marks a significant development in the Spencer family lineage.
