Princess a free spirit, say Chinese fortune tellers
Print Edition
BRITAIN’S new princess will be strong-willed and innovative, a free spirit who will re-energise the royal family, according to Chinese fortune tellers.
Prince William and his wife Kate’s daughter was born on Saturday, falling under the Chinese zodiac sign of the sheep and with a personal element of earth, according to the ancient Chinese practice of feng shui.
Her birthday combination is “a very strong one,” said feng shui expert Thierry Chow. “It indicates that she will give good luck to her family, being born in the sheep year has certainly helped to create this lucky combination.”
The princess, fourth in line to the throne, will be artistic and somewhat of a free spirit, according to Mak Ling-ling — another Hong Kong fortune teller.
“She has artistic talent and does not like to stick with the status quo, unlike her brother who will be more disciplined and reserved,” Mak added, referring to Prince George, almost two years older, who was born in the Year of the Snake.
But her independent nature means she won’t want to be reined in, Mak said, advising William to avoid spoiling his daughter. “She will be a happy girl — someone who does not like to follow discipline. When you set rules for her, she’d rather be herself,” Mak said.
Yet to be named, the baby is the first princess born into the British royal family since Princess Eugenie, daughter of the queen’s second son Prince Andrew, 25 years ago.
“Her addition to the family will help make things run smoother for her mom and dad especially in most aspects in their life such as work, health and relationship,” Chow said, adding that the princess could prove a great orator.
With no announcement yet, the guessing game over what her name will be continues.
Britain’s bookmakers have been busy taking bets. For weeks, they have been saying that Alice is the favorite. But in recent days Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, has become the front runner.
Other top possibilities included Olivia, Victoria, Elizabeth, Alexandra and Diana, the name of William’s late mother.
The newborn may herald a new generation in the monarchy, but it is customary for royals to look to their past for name ideas. The repetition of names in each generation is at least partly an effort to preserve the continuity of one of the world’s oldest institutions.
