Prince William and Prince Harry's uncle Robert Fellowes left almost £1.5million in his will, documents reveal - but not a penny for either royal.

Lord Fellowes, who was married to Princess Diana's sister Lady Jane Spencer, died in July last year at the age of 82.

A working member of the Royal Household who later served as private secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, he was close with both William and Harry, particularly before the latter's retreat from working royal life.

Court documents show the life peer's £1,517,053 net fortune has been left almost entirely to his wife Lady Jane, also known as Baroness Fellowes - save for a handful of gifts to friends and local charities.

A grant of probate authorised by the High Court of Justice on May 14 named Baroness Fellowes and their son, investment banker Alexander, as executors of his estate.
