Prince Henrik of Denmark (born Henri Marie Jean André de Laborde de Monpezat; 11 June 1934 – 13 February 2018; aged 83) was the husband of Margrethe II of Denmark. He served as her royal consort from Margrethe's accession on 14 January 1972 until his death in 2018. Throughout his time as Prince consort, Henrik became known by reporters as “the world’s grumpiest royal,” due to his regular grievances with his life like his displeasure with the fact that he never received the title of king. And in 2016, he retired from official duties, renouncing the title of Prince Consort. In the time since, he was often in France at his private vineyard.

Before ugly duckling, King Charles III matured into a beautiful silverfox and I knew about Prince Andrew, Prince Henrik was my first prince charming. He was handsome, had an aristocratic manner, exemplified by his colorful clothes and thick French accent that made him PING LIKE HELL.

Henrik was born in the French commune of Talence near Bordeaux to an old French family, the Laborde de Monpezats. He spent his early years in Tonkin in French Indochina (now part of Vietnam), where his family had lived for many years.

The Queen and Prince Henrik had two sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim. Away from his marriage, Henrik was a published poet, an avid cook and a hands-on grandfather to his eight royal grandchildren. He was known to enjoy the convivial life aboard. With the wardrobe functions and gay rumors, the queen gave him a loose rein, and was less concerned by his friendships with ladies than with gentlemen.

Happy 84th birthday to Queen Margrethe Il of Denmark!
Born on April 16th 1940, Margrethe Alexandrine Pórhildur Ingrid, reigned as Queen of Denmark from 14 January 1972 until her abdication on 14 January 2024. Having reigned for exactly 52 years, she was the second-longest reigning Danish monarch after Christian IV.
Margrethe is the eldest child of Frederick IX of Denmark and Ingrid of Sweden and became heir presumptive to her father in 1953, when a constitutional amendment allowed women to inherit the throne. On her accession, she became the first female monarch of Denmark since Margrethe I, ruler of the Scandinavian kingdoms in 1376-1412.
In 1967, she married Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, with whom she had two sons: Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim. She also has 8 grandchildren.
In her annual live broadcast New Year's Eve address on 31 December 2023, Margrethe announced her abdication, which took place on 14 January 2024, the 52nd anniversary of her accession to the throne. She was succeeded by her elder son, Frederik, as King Frederik X.

Today marks what would have been the 53rd wedding anniversary of Queen Margrethe II and Prince Consort Henrik of Denmark.
Crown Princess Margrethe of Denmark and Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat married on 10 June 1967 at Holmens Kirke, Copenhagen. Together, they have two children: Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim.
Daisy was once asked when she would find a husband and marry, to which she responded “Wouldn’t it be fairer to ask when will he be finding me?”. When Margrethe and Henri crossed paths, her father Frederik IX would say “He came, he saw, and you conquered.”
Henrik would die in 2018, while Margrethe would live on and continue to reign.

Wait, I missed that... did you predict that Prince Philip would die before Harry and Meghan’s wedding? And that the wedding would be postponed indefinitely? Why did you get it so wrong and, if you did, why do you think these predictions about Lili and the Queen’s death are correct?
Cue long post with lots of charts and because of that there will be a break since this might go on for a while.
First thing to understand is that in Vedic astrology, quite often but not always, a person will have a strong association with Rahu or Ketu (the lunar nodes) involved in the marriage house (7th house) such as the nodes in the 1st and 7th houses, or conjunct the 7th house lord, or conjunct Venus or Jupiter IF THEY MARRY A FOREIGNER. Venus is the indicator of marriage and wives; Jupiter is the indicator of husbands.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. Married to Silvia Sommerlath of Germany. Has Venus conjunct Rahu (in the 11th house) = foreign wife
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark Married Henri de Laborde de Monpezat Has Jupiter conjunct Ketu (in the 9th house) = foreign husband
Prince Joachim of Denmark Has married 2 non-Danes Jupiter conjunct Ketu; Jupiter rules the 7th house of marriage
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands Married Maxima Zorreguieta of Argentina Rahu in the 7th house of marriage
Queen Elizabeth II Married Prince Philip of Greece (& Denmark) Rahu in the 7th house
Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein Married Angela Brown, a Panamanian-American woman of African ancestry Rahu conjunct Venus
That’s SIX examples of modern-day royals who have a married a foreigner. They married out of “caste.” Hence, the association with the nodes because the nodes indicate foreigners. That the spouse was out of “caste” was significant enough to merit symbolism in the main birth chart.
If you think about it, Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein has probably the closest example of what you would expect to see in Harry’s natal chart because Harry also married an American woman with African ancestry. Meghan was as out-of-caste as she could possibly be--different economic class, foreigner, mixed race, etc.
So what does Harry’s chart look like? It looks like this:
Rahu & Ketu are not conjunct the 7th house lord (Mercury) nor is Venus (debilitated in Virgo) conjunct Rahu or Ketu. Some people could make the case that Rahu aspects Venus via its trine aspect; however, even though I sometimes give/consider the nodes trine aspect, I’ve never felt it was a strong enough indication based on a static reading of the chart.
Everything you’re reading up to now is what was boggling my mind back in Christmas 2017 when the poo hat made its appearance at Sandringham. I just couldn’t understand it based on all those charts above. There was this love story being portrayed in the press about how in love Harry & Megs were and how they were going to last and blah, blah, blah... And I was thinking to myself, “How is this marriage strongly indicated when Harry doesn’t have the overt indications of marrying a foreigner as these other royals?” Couldn’t make sense of it.
And let’s not forget that there were strong rumors circulating around at the time that they were on the brink of not making it to the wedding. There were strong rumors prior to the engagement that the engagement wasn’t going to happen. Even though the engagement happened. You could look at the pictures of Harry & Chelsy happy and compare them to the not frequent pictures of Harry & Meghan. It boggled the mind.
Then I read a psychic’s prediction that someone was going to die before the wedding, and it would be pivotal. And then separately I heard an astrologer I respected--who predicted the Brexit vote, which I didn’t think was going to vote to leave--predict that either The Queen was possibly going to step down & abdicate or perhaps she would pass away in 2017.
This got me thinking. I didn’t think The Queen was going to pass away in 2017, but the only way she could possibly step down from duties in some way was if Philip suddenly passed away unexpectedly. Given that Harry did not have some of the same indicators, as I just mentioned above, of ROYALS in successful marriages to foreigners, then perhaps the wedding wasn’t going to happen? Hence--you can probably already see where this is going--Philip was going to suddenly die before the wedding.
Yeah, yeah. I can hear your scorn right now. I realized a few weeks or months after the wedding happened where I went wrong. I don’t think anyone has ever asked me about it since, which is why you’re getting a mega-long post.
1. Mercury, lord of the 7th house, in the 9th house This can be a placement indicating marrying a foreigner since the indication infers that you’ll meet your partner while traveling a long distance. 9th house is the house of long-distance travel. Hence, you could marry a foreigner with this placement.
Now, there are rumors that Harry met Meghan while she was at an Invictus prep party in Toronto. However, it is just a rumor because all we’ve heard about officially is that they met as a blind date when SHE was traveling overseas. But this placement of Mercury may validate this rumor in some way. Go figure.
2. This goes into the dynamic reading of the chart. Harry got engaged AND married during his Rahu-Ketu dasa (time period). (I personally just think that his decision to get married during this period was THE WORST and will always feel this way.) Anyhow, Ketu (Ke) is always placed in the 7th house away from Rahu (Ra). However, Ketu is conjunct Mars, which rules the 7th house (Scorpio) from Rahu. It’s playing out this way because Rahu is the maha dasa (period) ruler, which means you can interpret the Rahu dasa with where Rahu is placed as the ascendant. With Rahu as the 1st house in Taurus, Scorpio becomes the natural 7th house. (This is dynamic reading & interpretation.) Ketu is influenced by the ruler of Scorpio, Mars. Hence, this is where we get the marriage indication.
And I missed it. We all make mistakes, and this was one of mine.
I also did not take into account Harry’s Saturn 7th from his natal Moon, which can always indicate divorce, OR his debilitated Venus, which is probably the best indicator of his (soon-to-be) failed marriage.
Because the dasa (period) that comes after Rahu-Ketu is Rahu-Venus. Harry has been in Rahu-Venus since October 2018. It’s a long period, about three years, and finally ends this October 2021.
What I should have realized that Harry does not have strong indications to marry a foreigner because this marriage was never going to last as long as the marriages I mentioned up top. It was always going to fail rather quickly, during the Rahu-Venus period.
Now, regarding Lili, I haven’t re-read my prediction based off Harry & Meghan’s annual charts recently. That was the first time I’ve ever examined an annual chart on my own. I only have two or three examples in my Varshaphala books regarding children. The annual charts for when they had Archie looked unquestionably better than the ones that contain Lili’s birth. Birth certificate isn’t available to order as of today. Will have to see if that changes over the weekend.
My only other thought is that perhaps since this is the year of Lili’s birth that the annual chart is indicative of ominous forebodings in the future. One of my Varshaphala books uses the example of JFK to point out that there were ominous signs of his demise (assassination) in his annual chart from 1960 when he was elected president. Can’t find the exact example at the moment but I do remember that it was pointed out that the Varshaphala chart can point out things that will come to fruition in later years. There is no Ithasala yoga regarding the 5th or 11th houses in Meghan’s annual chart from any kind of lagna/ascendant (regular ascendant, Muntha, or Year Lord), which is what you would expect for someone who is going to have a new baby. (EDIT: I did just notice that there is an Ithasala Yoga between Mars the 11th lord and Jupiter. Missed it on review because I’m tired. That could indicate birth of a child since the kid was born on Mars-Moon Mudda Dasa. The overall tenor of the chart isn’t great though.) Since the birth time from a certified birth certificate has not been verified yet, I somewhat hesitate to be 100% conclusive on this. That said, if the birth time of 11:40 am does indeed turn out to be correct, then my “ominous forebodings” theory may turn out to be correct. The possibility of the kid dying in a vehicular accident with her mother is very strong. Possibly before the age of five but I’ll have to double-check and research that one this fall perhaps.
Regarding The Queen’s passing, last spring (2020), I noticed a bunch of planets stationing on or very close to the natal positions of several members of the BRF such as Anne, Charles, and The Queen. The Queen had Pluto station within one degree of her ascendant degree last fall, if I remember correctly. Also there was some indications of change with the 2020 eclipses. Based on seeing these, I did some astrological research to see when previous BRF monarchs had become heir apparent and monarch. Based on that research, I came up with the time frame I mentioned: 06 April 2021 to 20 June 2021 for Charles. I chose 20 June 2021 as the end point because Charles’ current Chara dasa (time period) of Virgo-Sagittarius-Aquarius ends on that day. I chose that as the cutoff--instead of using the ending of The Queen’s current dasa (18 July 2021)--because Charles had his Prince of Wales investiture during his Chara dasa of Pisces-Aquarius-Virgo. I did not think it would happen in his Virgo-Sagittarius-Capricorn period. We’ll find out soon enough if that was the correct guess or not.

Happy 83rd birthday to Queen Margrethe II of Denmark!
Born on April 16th 1940, Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid, is Queen of Denmark as of January 14th 1972. Currently, she is Europe's longest-serving current head of state and also the world's only queen regnant.
Margrethe is the eldest child of Frederick IX of Denmark and Ingrid of Sweden and became heir presumptive to her father in 1953, when a constitutional amendment allowed women to inherit the throne. On her accession, she became the first female monarch of Denmark since Margrethe I, ruler of the Scandinavian kingdoms in 1376–1412.
In 1967, she married Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, with whom she had two sons: Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim. She also has 8 grandchildren.
