Princess Diana 's childhood home will not go to either of her children, Prince William or Prince Harry , as one might think, but instead, to her nephew, Louis Spencer. Despite having three older sisters, Louis, 30, as Viscount Althorp, will inherit the estate due to the system of primogeniture prevalent in the aristocracy. This system dictates that titles are transferred to the eldest son, not the firstborn child, reports Daily Express UK.
