PREDICTION

This quatrain will come as no surprise to the British people,

and it has wide implications. The first is that Queen
Elizabeth Il will die, circa 2022, at the age of around ninety-
six, five years short of her mother's term of life. Prince
Charles will be crowned in her stead, and become 'King of
che Islands, the implication here being that he is no longer
king of the other regions in the world over which his mother
reigned Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. - which will

have, in the interim, become republics. 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. The pressure on
him is so great, and his age so much against him, that
Charles agrees to abdicate in favour of his son. The question
is, which son? For in the last line Nostradamus makes it very
clear that 'a man will replace him who never expected to be
king. Does this mean that Prince William, who would have
expected to succeed his father, is no longer in the picture?
And that Prince Harry, by process of default, becomes king
in his stead? That would make him King Henry 1X, aged just
thirty-eight.
SUM M ARY

King Charles IIlI of England, weary at the persistent attacks

on both himself and his second wife in the twenty-five years
since his first wife, Princess Diana's death, decides to
abdicate in favour of her son, Prince Harry.
