'Living Nostradamus' Athos Salomé issues sombre forecast about Prince Harry and King Charles III amid whispers of a potential Royal Family reconciliation

A Brazilian psychic widely referred to as the 'Living Nostradamus' has made an eerie prediction about the future for Prince Harry and the Royal Family. Athos Salomé, 38, has previously made forecasts surrounding global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Microsoft global outage and the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Because of this, Salomé's followers believe he has an extraordinary gift for foreseeing world events, drawing comparisons to the famed 16th-century seer Nostradamus. Salomé claims his predictions are based on studies in Kabbalah, the ancient Jewish tradition of mystical biblical interpretation, as well as analysis of symbolic patterns and power cycles. In a new interview with The Sun on Thursday, Salomé said his analysis points to Prince Harry travelling back to the UK before the European summer of 2026, not as a heartfelt family reunion, but as part of "an image survival strategy". "Harry knows that he needs to regain some of the British support if he wants to maintain institutional relevance," he told the publication, adding that his wife - Meghan Markle - may stay behind in the US or make "restricted appearances" during the visit. Unfortunately, the Brazilian psychic stated that the Kabbalah ultimately indicates signs of "limited reconciliation" between the 40-year-old Prince and the 76-year-old King, who has been battling an undisclosed form of cancer since February 2024. The prediction follows growing speculation about a possible thaw in the frosty relationship between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, which has remained fractured since Harry and Meghan's departure from royal duties and move to the US in 2020. Two weeks ago, Harry's new chief communications officer Meredith Maines and UK PR rep Liam Maguire were spotted meeting with the King's top aide, Communications Secretary Tobyn Andreae, at London's Royal Over-Seas League. While there was reportedly "no formal agenda", royal insiders said the casual meeting marked a significant shift in tone. "There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years," a source told The Mail on Sunday, which first revealed the sit-down. Maines, who joined Harry's team in March, was also behind the Duke's May BBC interview where he declared he "would love a reconciliation" with his family. However, not everyone is convinced of the sincerity behind the outreach. On Wednesday, royal commentator Robert Jobson suggested the meeting may have been financially motivated, following reports that streaming giant Netflix will scrap the couple's $100 million deal due to poor ratings. "Well, the deal was always set about $100 million, wasn't it?" Jobson said during The Sun's Royal Exclusive show. "Where does it leave them? Probably with a bit of a bowl out, looking for some handouts. "They can't rely on the Spare money forever, can they?" he added, referencing Harry's bestselling 2023 memoir. As for Harry and Meghan's relationship, Salomé does not foresee a divorce - but believes a professional and emotional rift is forming. "They may remain married for convenience and brand management," he said. "But emotionally, they will be more distant than ever." Already, the Duke and Duchess, who share six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet, appear to be operating along increasingly separate lines. Meghan is said to be focusing all efforts on her lifestyle brand, As Ever, while Harry is doubling down on his work with the Invictus Games and mental health causes. According to Salomé, this division may become a "model of cohabitation" that is more functional than heartfelt. But he also warned of obstacles ahead, particularly for Meghan. "According to the predictions from the Kabbalah, there are strong indications of problems in the production chain and the exhaustion of the niche if she doesn't reinvent the brand's storytelling," he said.

‘Living Nostradamus' makes ominous Meghan Markle & Prince Harry prediction & claims they're ‘more distant than ever'

Athos Salomé has also given a grave warning to the Duke of Sussex about how he must reconcile with his father King Charles Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PSYCHIC who has correctly predicted a string of huge global events has given an ominous new forecast on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry - and it seems a "separation" could be on the cards. Athos Salomé, 38, from Brazil, has been dubbed the 'Living Nostradamus' after accurately predicting the Covid 19 pandemic and Queen Elizabeth II's death.

Salomé told The Sun there may be new issues for Meghan's growing business and has explained why Harry should return to the UK. And his delve into the future comes as the couple were dealt a fresh blow, with reports their multi-million dollar Netflix deal is dead in the water after 'dismal' viewing figures. Here, Salomé exclusively shares with us his latest insights... Are Meghan and Harry going their separate ways? Five years after Megxit, Meghan and Harry "continue to sell authenticity and philanthropy, while cultivating their personal brands in an increasingly divided climate", Salomé claims. Salomé believes the couple is currently experiencing "the most fragile moment of their strategy". According to Salomé, his predictions are not just vague intuitions: they derive from studies in the Kabbalah, which is the ancient Jewish tradition of mystical interpretation of the Bible, analysis of symbolic patterns, and a precise reading of power cycles. In 2025, these cycles point to a silent split, risky political alliances and wear and tear that will be difficult to circumvent. According to Salomé, he does not foresee divorce but "separation on a professional level". He believes that Meghan and Harry will maintain their marriage, but with increasingly independent professional and personal lives. According to him, "they may remain married for convenience and brand management. But emotionally, they will be more distant than ever". Harry's 'peace talks' have scheming Meghan's hand all over them, he looks lost in his sad little life The teams already operate independently. Meghan will concentrate all her resources on As Ever - her lifestyle and wellness brand - while Harry will consolidate his image as patron of the Invictus Games and mental health projects. 5 Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever has been a huge success so far Credit: AS EVER 5 Prince Harry is the founder of the Invictus Games Credit: Rex This professional split looks strategic to shield the businesses from the possible failure of the other. Salomé points out that the separation of brands would not immediately mean the end of the marriage, but it would shape a model of cohabitation that would be increasingly functional and less effective. For Meghan, the way forward is to consolidate As Ever, which aims to make an annual turnover of between 25 and 40 million dollars over the next two years. But Salomé warns: "According to the predictions from the Kabbalah, there are strong indications of problems in the production chain and the exhaustion of the niche if she doesn't reinvent the brand's storytelling." Salomé points out that Meghan seems willing to sell herself as a Californian progressive icon, something that would generate increasing polarisation. Harry, for his part, seeks to maintain global relevance with the Invictus Games and mental health projects - bets with royal and diplomatic appeal. Will Harry reconcile with Charles? 5 There are supposedly "limited signs of reconciliation with King Charles" According to Salomé, the Kabbalah, sadly, points to signs of limited reconciliation with King Charles. It predicts that Harry "should publicly travel to the UK before the European summer of 2026 to seal a formal rapprochement, even if Meghan remains in the US or makes restricted appearances". This rapprochement is not an emotional whim, but - according to Salomé - part of "an image survival strategy". Harry "knows that he needs to regain some of the British support if he wants to maintain institutional relevance", Salomé claims.

"Gwyneth and Martin were disgusted by the behavior. 'I can't be around this woman any more,' Martin told Gwyneth. 'She's awful.' Gwyneth agreed that Madonna was toxic and ended the friendship.' The explosive account of the friendship's demise shines light on Paltrow's past comments about Madonna. In a 2010 interview with British Vogue, the Oscar winner said, 'Yeah, it's good that [Tracy] doesn't train Madonna any more. It was too much,' she said at the time. 'She keeps people waiting — it takes up your whole day.' While representatives for Paltrow and Madonna have not commented on the book's allegations, the story paints a vivid picture of a powerful friendship's shocking conclusion.
