LONDON, UK: Arguably the most famous fortune-teller and seer in history, Nostradamus, made many predictions about the royalty but these were not limited to his lifetime. Rather, he left behind a book of prophecies for the future, which have since been tested time and time again. Now, once more, his predictions have gained the spotlight. There has been a new take on the prophecies, which suggests that King Charles III will abdicate the throne and Prince Harry may be the next to rule.

The writings of Michel de Nostredame, often simply referred to as Nostradamus, appear in the book he left behind, titled, 'Les Prophéties'. This is a collection of 942 poetic quatrains that seemingly predict future events. Now, Mario Reading, a leading expert on the French astrologer, has claimed that Nostramus also correctly predicted the exact year of Queen Elizabeth II's death.

According to LADbible, he said that the cryptic poems composed in 1555 hint heavily at the recent events coming to pass. In 2005, Reading had spoken about Nostradamus' poems, "The preamble is that Queen Elizabeth II will die, circa 2022, at the age of around ninety-six, five years short of her mother’s term of life." This has certainly been true as the Queen died peacefully at the age of 96 on September 8, 2022.

Next, Reading also suggested an interpretation of the French seer's words "King of the Islands" to refer to King Charles III in one of the poems. The context of this reference, as pointed out by the expert was that Nostradamus predicted that most of the Commonwealth will break away during King Charles III’s reign.

Additionally, he also analyzed Nostradamus' poems to speculate that they spoke of King Charles III abdicating. "Prince Charles will be seventy-four years old in 2022, 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," he had said. The oldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, ascended to the throne at the age of 73. If this interpretation of Nostradamus' prophecies is to be believed, his reign will certainly not be as long as that of his mother, who ruled for 70 years, celebrating her Platinum Jubilee just a few months before her death. Reading claims that Charles' age will force him to abdicate the throne. However, here in lies the twist.

King Charles' heir is his oldest son, the Prince of Wales, William. But, according to Nostradamus, "A man will replace him who never expected to be King." Reading therefore speculates this points to Charles' youngest, Prince Harry. "Does that mean that Prince William, who would have expected to succeed his father, is no longer in the picture?" The British author and researcher of Nostradamus suggests that this could be possible, commenting that if Prince William does not ascend the throne after his father, "Prince Harry, by process of default, [might] become King in his stead."

This isn't the first time Nostradamus' prophecies have befuddled the world with their accuracy. The reputed astrologer of the sixteenth century accurately predicted world events such as the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany as well as the infamous terrorist attack on the World Trade Center towers in New York on September 11. 

Currently, Prince Harry is fifth in line to the throne, behind Prince William and his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. In the event that King Charles III was to abdicate, Prince William would be king. But if the latter were to die before his oldest son, George, turned 18, only then would Prince Harry find himself in the position of being the next regent.
