Fortune tellers predict mixed blessings for happy couple

ASIAN fortune-tellers are divining mixed blessings for Britain’s Prince William and fiancée Kate Middleton, with the gloomier oracles warning of affairs, divorce and trouble having children.

Arun Kumar Bansal, president of the All India Federation of Astrologers’ Societies, saw a mostly rosy future for the second in line to the throne and his wife-to-be, who announced yesterday they would marry next year.

“They match quite well. Together they score 24 points out of 36 on general compatibility,” he told reporters after poring over the couple’s astrological birth charts, which he said showed the benign influence of the planet Mercury.
