Hello Harry? Nostradamus said Charles abdicates to ‘mystery king’

French astrologer Nostradamus has made interesting predictions about King Charles and his reign on the throne, but do these plans include Prince Harry?

Known for his wide range of prophecies, fans of the notorious soothsayer are now claiming that he correctly predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. He also predicted that Charles would become king shortly thereafter.

But despite only inheriting the throne at the ripe age of 74 years old, Charles will have a short-lived reign, claimed the astrologer.

Following in his footsteps will be a “mystery king”.

WHAT DID NOSTRADAMUS PREDICT ABOUT KING CHARLES?

According to Mario Reading’s 2005 book Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies for the Future, the astrologer made a series of predictions more than 500 years ago. 

When it comes to the British Royal Family, Nostradamus claimed that the Queen would die in 2022 and King Charles would begin his reign at 74 years old. However, Charles would abdicate to an unlikely successor, he revealed.

According to Reading, who died in 2017, the dates were determined by the use of four lines of rhymed verse or quatrains, which were number indexed to correlate with years.

Nostradamus said of Charles in his quatrain: “Because they disapproved of his divorce, A man who later they considered unworthy; The People will force out the King of the islands; A Man will replace who never expected to be king”.

Reading interpreted Nostradamus’s predictions that Charles would abdicate after becoming “weary at the persistent attacks on both himself and second wife”. This, because of “resentments held against him by a certain proportion of the British population, following his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales”.

Then comes a plot twist. Reading interpreted that whilst Prince William will become the heir to the throne when Charles becomes king, the former will not rule over the monarchy.

Instead, he claims Prince Harry – who is fifth in line – is “a man who never expected to be King – who will become the next monarch”. 

According to Reading and his son Laurie, Nostradamus predicted the 2008 recession and the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris.

Laurie told the Manchester Evening News that Nostradamus has predicted that billionaire businessman Elon Musk will travel to Mars in 2023.

LINE OF SUCCESSION TO THE THRONE

With news of Nostradamus’s predictions, many are wondering what the likelihood of Prince Harry ever becoming King is.

According to the line of succession, Charles’s second-born son is fifth in line to the throne, behind his brother William and his respective three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

According to Daily Star, this would only occur if King Charles had to die or abdicate and Prince William and his three children also predeceased him. However, the Royal Family has a strict protocol in place to ensure that members of the family – particularly heirs – always travel separately to avoid “disaster”.

However, when it comes to predictions – like the ones made by Nostradamus – anything is possible. According to the history books, as a child, Elizabeth was once in the same standing as Prince Harry as third-in-line to the throne. 

Had it not been for her uncle Edward VIII abdicating to marry US divorcee Wallis Simpson in 1936, her father Albert (later George VI) would never have become king nor she queen in 1952.
