LONDON (Reuters) - The Court of Appeal in London on Friday dismissed a challenge by a newspaper which argued it was wrong to hold in secret a hearing which decided that the will of Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's late husband, should be kept private.

Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, died in April last year aged 99 after more than seven decades of marriage to the queen.
