Princess Diana's Former Astrologer Says Her Stars Are Aligned With New Grandson 

The Stars of New Royal Baby and Princess Diana Are Aligned, Says Di\'s Former Astrologer

The new royal baby will never meet his paternal grandmother, but Princess Diana‘s astrologer says the similarities in their star charts are astounding.

“While Princess Charlotte is a chip off the old block in terms of sharing many astrological features with the Queen, the new baby is a chip off the old block in regard to Diana,” astrologer Penny Thornton tells PEOPLE.

The baby boy — who arrived on April 23 at 11:01 a.m. at St. Mary’s Hospital’s in London — is a Taurus, just like his nearly 3-year-old sister, Charlotte. “With Cancer rising and Venus in Taurus, he has a sweet and sentimental side. He will be affectionate and open-hearted and quite the charmer,” predicts Thornton, who was Diana’s personal astrologer for more than six years.

The still-to-be-named royal baby, fifth in line to the throne, will be “strong-willed and independent” as well as a “ground-breaker” with a love of writing, the arts and politics. “Like his brother and sister, he will take part in a major transformation of the royal family,” says Thornton. “He will respect the institution of monarchy but be a socialist at heart.”
