When it comes to the royal family, everybody wants to be in the know.
Historians and royal watchers have turned over every stone to try and learn more about their private lives.
It’s no surprise, then, that astrology is also used as a tool for observing the monarchy.
Even after their deaths, the innermost details of their relationship remain a mystery.
Based on their natal charts, this regal partnership had some challenges.
Queen Elizabeth was born on April 21, 1926, under the sensible, hardworking sign of Taurus.
These earthy beings are often described as homebodies a total contrast to Philip’s zodiac sign, Gemini.
Both regals shared the same moon sign fiery, commanding Leo which may have added to their relationship woes.
Nevertheless, the monarchy’s most notorious couple stands tall in the face of public scrutiny.
Despite their seemingly airtight union, some critics still believe that their relationship is doomed to fail.
But what do the stars have to say?
Prince Harry was born on September 15, 1984, making him a Virgo.
An earth sign, Virgo is grounded, practical, and reserved.
Fierce Leo and orderly Virgo could find themselves at odds over their clashing values.
Markle’s lovely Libra moon complements Harry’s loyal Taurus moon.
Over the years, the couple has earned plenty of admiration from royal watchers.
Fans praise their ability to move seamlessly between their royal duties and their secure family life.
During their engagement interview in 1998, the couple revealed the secret behind their hardy romance.
People born under the water sign Pisces tend to be intuitive and romantic.
Meanwhile, Aquarians are known for their rebellious, free-spirited ways.
When these signs unite, emotional Pisces might have difficulty accepting Aquarius' independent nature.
At worst, Pisces could see their Aquarius partner as aloof and emotionally detached.
Edward’s Venus in Taurus and Sophie’s Venus in Capricorn provide a haven of comfort and stability.
Brooksbank toldBBCthat it was “love at first sight” when they met.
This bold, energetic fire sign is always looking for the next source of excitement.
According to astrologerBabs Cheung, an Aries-Taurus union can be challenging due to their conflicting personality traits.
However, there’s also potential for these differences to create a sense of comfort and balance.
Despite their night-and-day personalities, these royal lovebirds are united by their Mercury signs.
In the zodiac, Mercury represents communication.
“Overall, this is a royal match that should stand the test of time.”
In fact,their relationship has been under firesince the beginning.
Prior to their 2011 wedding, Charlene allegedly tried to escape Monaco three times.
According to astrology and tarot expertInbaal Honigman, this relationship is astrologically challenging.
Albert, a Pisces with a Gemini ascendant, is a natural-born extrovert.
However, Charlene is an introverted combination of an Aquarius sun with a Taurus ascendant.
This pairing might lead to challenges with communication and conflict management.
To make matters worse, this royal flame could go frigid due to their lackluster Venus connection.
“It’s not a very romantic sign.
The pair first crossed paths in 1986 during Anne’s marriage to her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips.
Anne and Laurence quickly struck up an affair.
After the affair went public, Anne ended her unhappy marriage to Phillips.
She married Laurence in 1992.
Despite their whirlwind, love-at-first-sight union, Princess Anne and Timothy Laurence aren’t a perfect astrological match.
Laurence is a Pisces, which likely makes him more placid and emotional than Anne.
When it comes to authoritative Leo and sensitive Pisces, misunderstandings tend to run wild.
“They share a deep compatibility in romance, passion, love, and loyalty,” Ward explained.
This relationship is the most important thing, the bedrock, in both of their lives.”
As romances go, Edward and Simpson truly had an us-against-the-world vibe.
Nonetheless, the pair remained happily married until Edward’s death in 1972.
Despite their everlasting ardor, Edward and Simpson did have some astrological challenges to face.
Edward was born under the watery sign of Cancer.
When it comes to emotional matters, Gemini prefers to keep things surface-level.
Solaris added that this astrologically mismatched duo might also have faced power struggles.
Scorpio thrives on deep emotional connection, whereas Gemini is a social butterfly who prefers to keep things light-hearted.
According to Travis Cox, founder of the astrology websiteStarwatchr, the royals might also have struggled with communication.
“Prince Rainier’s Mercury was in Gemini, signifying a more versatile and talkative approach to communication.
The difference in their communication styles could have led to misunderstandings and a lack of emotional connection.”
Despite their astrological differences, the mismatched pair clearly found a way to make it work.
There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to this ill-fated royal relationship.
For starters, there was Charles' affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.
According to Inbaal Honigman, the couple’s initial connection may have faded quickly due to long-term incompatibilities.
“Him, a Scorpio, and her, a Cancer, are both water signs.
Emotionally sensitive and romantic, their early days as a couple may well have been happy.
But several astrological incompatibilities pulled them apart.”
Scorpio has a reputation for being secretive, a trait that would have been unbearable for emotionally sensitive Cancer.
Diana’s moon was in altruistic Aquarius, which would likely have clashed with Charles' self-righteous Leo ascendant.
Ultimately, the disharmonious pair would have struggled to find common ground.
Their romance, which began in 1952, faced political backlash due to Townsend’s previous divorce.
From an astrological perspective, her decision made sense.
Born under the regal sign of Leo, Margaret’s devotion to the monarchy was innate.
Leo is a natural-born leader that values loyalty above everything else.
Likewise, the attraction between Margaret and Townsend, a Scorpio, was inevitable.
Magnetic Leo is instinctively drawn to Scorpio’s intensity.
However, due to their self-reliant ways, major power struggles can ensue.
“Watery Scorpio can put out Leo’s fire, and Leo’s fire can make Scorpio boil.
These two signs are in incompatible elements making it difficult for them to relate,” astrologerAmy Trippexplained toBustle.
Many fans are still convinced that Townsend was Margaret’s one true love.
