It doesn’t matter if he’s in politics, it doesn’t matter if he’s prime minister, a will is a registered public legal document and as the beneficiary you have the sole rights to the medals.

Just ignore his threats, he could contest the will but he has no grounds, not only would he lose but he would have to pay the legal expenses himself.

Tell him if he persists that you have taken legal advice (which you just have) and that he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
