Publish Royal Wills
Change the law to ensure that the wills of members of the British royal family including monarchs are published in the same way as for other people. Also consider making such a change in the law apply retrospectively.
The transparency of the probate system exists as a safeguard against the improper administration of deceased persons estates. This includes, for example, the non-payment of any taxes, claims or other potential liabilities that may be due. British royal family estates in administration should not be exempt from rules that apply to everyone else.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about closing wills so they are not published are a matter for the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament.
