A new interpretation of Nostradamus's predictions has suggested an unexpected twist in the line of succession to the British throne.
Mario Reading
, an expert on Nostradamus, the 16th-century astrologer, has claimed that Prince Harry could become king, potentially replacing his father,
King Charles
.
Reading's 2005 book examines Nostradamus's 447-year-old writings and connects them to current events. The book accurately predicted Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022 based on cryptic poems written in 1555.
Analysing Nostradamus's line, "a man will replace him who never expected to be king," Reading questions whether this excludes
Prince William
from the line of succession. He proposes, as quoted by Daily Star, that "Prince Harry, by process of default, becomes king in his stead. That would make him King Henry IX, aged just 38," if the Prince of Wales cannot assume the throne.
The book also draws attention to Simon Dorante-Day, an Australian man claiming to be the son of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.
Dorante-Day finds the Nostradamus prediction intriguing, saying, "It's certainly food for thought, because the prediction makes it clear that someone out of left field would replace Charles as king. I can see why some people would think I fit the bill."
Reading interprets one of the poems mentioning "King of the Islands" as referring to a diminished Commonwealth, with King Charles ruling over a smaller realm. The expert also suggests that King Charles's age and potential public disapproval might lead him to abdicate.
"Prince Charles will be in his 70s when he takes over the throne, but the resentments held against him by a certain proportion of the British population, following his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales, still persist," Reading asserts, as quoted by the Daily Star. He further speculates that, due to King Charles's age, he might choose to abdicate in favor of Prince William.
While Reading's interpretations are based on centuries-old predictions and open to debate, they provide a captivating glimpse into the possibilities surrounding the future of the British monarchy.
