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.


Several astrologers 'prophesied the same story, from what my distant
memory remembers and I believe when Charles was born Indian astrologers
said he might not be king.

:-)) You too remembered that and, no doubt like me, hope you live long
enough to find out whether the prediction was true or not. :-))

However i expect there were also astrologers who said that everything in
the garden would be rosy and his one and only marriage would be happy and
he would reign for a long time

I quite agree with you, however when the name William was mentioned and
there was a not a William in the family one has to wonder. Why not pick
Henry or David or Ambrose?

That's what's useful about horoscopes, you can believe the bits you like
and scoff at the rest...

I'm not one to want to meet famous people per se and so I stayed in the
background but I have to say that his visit to the War Widows Annual
Dinner on 13th November absolutely made several ladies' dreams come true.
He was polite and charming to those he met and took immense care to try
and speak to all those who were eager to meet him. I know at least one who
went online the minute the pictures were up and now has the photograph of
her shaking his hand in pride of place in her hall!
Whatever we might think, to many people meeting the Royal Family is a joy
and a cherished ambition.

My only claim to fame with Royals is that my bottom and the Queen's bottom
have both been in the same seat.
