Charles Spencer was delighted when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle informed him that they had welcomed their first child on Monday – but for one reason, in particular, his star sign! Taking to Twitter once the news was official, the Earl told his followers: "Really very lovely news today - many, many, congratulations! (Good to have another Taurean in the family....)".
Indeed, the royal family and Spencer family have a lot of Taureans, such as the Queen, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Charles Spencer himself, whose birthday is on 20 May.

It seems Charles isn't the only one in the family into astrology, his sister Princess Diana was also a fan, and Debbie Frank, who was her astrologer for more than nine years, has given an insight into what to expect from the new royal baby, telling HELLO! that he will be adored by his parents, whose own star signs are perfectly aligned to create a happy family.
