He predicted that the next Monarch would be called William.

Since there was no such person called William anywhere in the Royal
family
this was memorable at the time. Years later a member of my staff also
recalled this article and she made a comment about William being the next
king because..... and repeated the story.

memory remembers and I believe when Charles was born Indian astrologers
said he might not be king.

Oh, reely! *Has everybody forgotten?

That had damn-all to do with him not being the next monarch, and a
great deal to do with the chattering classes blithering that the
name Charles was unlucky. *They speculated that he might take the
name William on accession, just as his grandfather Albert took the
name George. *It's as simple as that.

I can believe that Indian astrologers made a more specific prediction,
but what I described is what went on in the West.
