The late royal\u2019s father settled there in 1975 after becoming Earl Spencer.<\/p>\n
To date, the lavish home belongs to the current Earl Spencer, Diana\u2019s brother Charles.<\/p>\n
And once he dies, his son Louis, Viscount Althorp, will inherit the estate \u2014 meaning the ownership of the property will not reach the Prince of Wales, 43, or Duke of Sussex, 40.<\/p>\n

Picture: Getty Images<\/p>\n The Spencer dynamic was thrown for a loop with the property, as Louis will be the next owner despite the fact that he has three older sisters.<\/p>\n According to a years-long tradition of the Spencer family observing primogeniture, Lady Kitty, Lady Eliza, and Lady Amelia will not be inheriting the estate.<\/p>\n Speaking in 2015 about the unwritten rule, Charles said that while he\u2019s \u201ctotally relaxed\u201d about Kitty inheriting the estate, he did note that \u201cit would be against all tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just the way it is,\u201d he told the Daily Mail<\/a> at the time. \u201cI get the problems with it as a concept. I also get the strengths of it, having worked to date.\u201d<\/p>\n Later that year, Kitty said that while she\u2019s \u201ctotally pro-gender equality,\u201d she\u2019s \u201cquite happy\u201d with the property becoming her younger brother\u2019s \u201cresponsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI just think it\u2019s the correct way,\u201d she told Tatler. \u201cI like that the house stays within the same family, with the same surname. <\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want it any other way for the Spencers. And I just know my brother is going to do an impeccable job.\u201d<\/p>\n The property has belonged to the Spencer family since 1508.

And that\u2019s very lovely for me to know that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n The Earl\u2019s son, Louis, will be the next owner of Althorp \u2014 despite the fact that he has three older sisters.
