Princess Margaret’s will

Brown’s upbringing in Kenya was, according to him, a result of the Royal Family sending him off across the world to be raised by Cynthia and Douglas Brown – a well-connected couple. Princess Margaret’s will, Brown believes, could expose the apparent truth of his royal lineage.

Sealing a royal’s will was a practice that started in 1911 when Prince Francis of Teck’s will was sealed so that no one could know he left jewellery to a mistress. Brown's claims are based on his belief that Princess Margaret paid a visit to him when he was young and the Queen’s sister did make an unofficial trip to the African country in 1956.
