Thereforethe period 1509 to 2008 is covered. It aims to uncover the many dilemmas andconundrums they have had to deal with, against a backdrop of Imperial splendorand political strife, society scandals and in later instances, adisintegrating infrastructure. This period covers the wills of Henry VIII,Edward VI and George I, which all sought to divert the accepted rules ofsuccession; the wills of Queen Charlotte and George III, which brought intosharp focus the differences between State and Personal property; and the willsfrom Prince Albert to the present day (with a few exceptions) which sought toexclude the public from seeing their contents, in devices known as ‘closing’and ‘sealing up’ the wills. The authority by which the latter was done hasbeen seriously questioned in signal cases in 2007 and 2008. Sources drawn uponinclude not only theRoyal Archives, but the Kilmorey Papers in the PublicRecord Office of Northern Ireland, and the Teck Letters in Wellington College,where Prince Frank received much of his early education.
