Astrologer to the stars and royalty, Debbie Frank, has shared the 2026 horoscopes for the British Royal Family, including His Majesty King Charles III and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Debbie, who was a “close confidante” of Diana, the People’s Princess, provided her readings exclusively to Hello!.
Read on for the royal horoscopes…
King Charles III
Born on 14 November 1948, King Charles is a Scorpio. According to Debbie Frank, the second half of 2026 is shaping up to be decisive in his reign.
“The second half of the year is Saturn on King Charles’s midheaven, which flags up a decisive time in his reign. In late July, there’s an outpouring of appreciation for Charles,” she said in her report. “September brings to the surface a deeper public awareness of his private struggles.”
This, of course, brings to mind King Charles’ current battle with cancer. He has generally kept his treatment under wraps; however, he did share ahead of Christmas that he would be reducing treatment in the new year.
Looking further ahead, Debbie also noted that the year will “mark a turning point in the dynamics” between the King, the Queen and the country.
“2026 places Pluto, the powerful planet of transition and transformation, onto the marriage and relationship angle of King Charles’s chart,” she shared. “The astrological ‘Descendant’ angle is where the person’s most important relationships are constellated. Both with a significant other and also with the public.”
Queen Camilla
Born on 17 July 1947, Queen Camilla is a Cancer. Debbie says that the Queen will take a step back from duties in the new year, but will remain “a powerful force.”
“Her role will be clearly defined from April onwards with a firm strategy in place. She will step back from duties that the younger royals could perform.”
This couldevoke the palace’s plans to continue highlighting Prince William’s and Princess Catherine’s role in the monarchy.
“Camilla’s own priorities and her personal needs for time and space become clearly visible in May and again over the Autumn period,” Deddie adds in her report. “In July, both she and the King put on a strong centre-stage royal show. Yet October requires time for self-care and greater retreat.”
This echoes Debbie’s horoscope for King Charles, where she said that “September brings to the surface a deeper public awareness of his private struggles.”
Prince William
Born on 21 June 1982, Prince William, aka the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, is a Cancer. According to Debbie, he will be stepping up in the new year. And furthermore, the full moon in January (on 3 Jan) will activate his “destiny point.”
“William will be assuming a bigger role, but personally, he feels like diving into his Cancerian shell,” says Debbie. “However, he steps up and will also show that empathy is his superpower as a future King.”
She continues that from February, “his Sun and Moon in the sensitive sign of Cancer are picking up a big change, which activates his sense of duty”.
Debbie also says that his presence on a global stage will increase in the new year: “It seems there will be a greater requirement for him to be out there globally and also very present for the people in the UK.”
As William is increasingly the face of the British Royal Family, this isn’t unsurprising. However, with his father’s horoscope indicating that he will be “taking more a step back”struggles” and Queen Camilla’s saying she’s in for a change in duty, it seems we may be seeing a lot more of Prince William in 2026.
Catherine, the Princess of Wales
Princess Catherine, born on 9 January 1982, is a Capricorn. Debbie predicts that 2026 will be a year of high achievement and personal growth for the Princess of Wales.
“January pinpoints 2026 as a milestone year for Kate,” Debbie shared. It should be noted that Catherine will turn 44 on January 9, 2026. “By May, she emerges as a leading royal figure, bringing hearts and minds together. She grows in stature and confidence throughout the year, driven by her Capricorn Sun.”
This is an easy prediction to make. Since Catherine has been in remission from her cancer treatment, she has been on official outings more and more.
However, Debbie predicts she won’t be without some “strain”.
“Inwardly, she tries to pace herself, but at times feels the strain. However, she is also buoyed up by the sheer love the public feel for her and her pride in her family.”
Frank also highlighted Catherine’s busy autumn schedule:
“Kate will throw herself into hard work in the Autumn and once again emerges in the month of November feeling the combined fulfilment of public acclaim and personal happiness at her success.”
Overall, it appears that Catherine is in for a busy and rewarding year.
“2026 is a year of both high achievement and personal growth for Kate – inwardly and outwardly satisfying.”
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex
Born on 4 August 1981, Meghan is a Leo. Debbie says that Meghan, aka Meghan Markle, aka the Duchess of Sussex, will “power through” disappointment in 2026.
“Meghan is primed for take-off in January,” Debbie shared. “It’s all go and gung-ho continuing through the Full Moon on 1 February, which lights up her Leo Sun, so she’s brimming with plans to be in the front row.”
However, from March’s eclipsed Full Moon and Saturn moving into Meghan’s Moon and Saturn in the same month, it could feel like a “hard slog or a cold shoulder.”
Debbie continues that Meghan could feel a “divided reaction to her offerings” and “some disappointment.” There are many ventures this could allude to. Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, is growing in strength and product offerings, but her lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, has not been renewed by Netflix for a third season.
Despite the potential struggles, Debbie says that the duchess will “power through.”
“2026 will be a creative year for Meghan with interesting opportunities to spread her wings in new directions,” Debbie adds. “Chances to prove herself in new enterprises – especially in July and August, which bring out her Leo radiance and star power.
“An Autumn flourish sees her busier than ever and carving out her own niche as a prime figure on the world stage.”
