A coronation on the brink?
Those attending the coronation of King Charles III might want to stay vigilant.
Two royal “superfans” who foresaw the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip have revealed some very ominous predictions for Saturday’s crowning ceremony in London.
“We’ve had visions, like slideshows in our heads, that security needs to be high,” Berkshire, England native Lynne Antink, 78, told Jam Press.
She and her son, Colin, 31, have been rabid royal fans for some time, notably hailing Charles, 74, and Queen Consort Camilla, 75, as “role models” for their views on family issues.
Colin’s bedroom is festooned with monarchical memorabilia, including a wall hanging of Charles and a newspaper clipping showing the first time Colin met the king, in 2002.
“I won an award for being a young carer for my mom, and I remember King Charles being rather nervous,” Colin said of hobnobbing with his hero. “But then I asked if there were any secret passages in Westminster Abbey, and he replied: ‘Oh, almost certainly. It’s a very old building.’ “
“We spoke quite a bit, and he thought I was highly amusing — it was one of the best days of my life,” Colin added.
Unfortunately for the monarchy, the sovereign-loving pair have become famous for their knack for predicting deaths in the royal family.
The doomsaying duo say they had a premonition that a noble was going to die in 2021.
Prince Philip passed away days later, on April 9, 2021, at 99.
They divined the death of Queen Elizabeth II in similar fashion this past fall.
This year, Lynne and Colin had catastrophic, albeit less fatal, forecasts for the coronation.
“My first vision was the crown falling, and I don’t know what this means, but it’ll either fall from the cushion or from the king’s head,” Lynne said.
It’s not clear what prompted this prediction, however, this fear is perhaps not unfounded: In 1845, the coronet infamously toppled from a cushion held by Lord John Campbell, the Duke of Argyll, while he carried it to Queen Victoria amid the State Opening of Parliament, according to Express UK.
The queen described it in her diary as “all crushed and squashed like a pudding that had sat down.”
Lynne also envisions an “orange carriage,” which she said could symbolize oranges or a “similar color substance being thrown at the carriage on either journey.”
She even suggested it could mean an attack by Just Stop Oil, the climate activist group with an orange logo, that was arrested in October for smearing cake on the king’s wax statute at Madame Tussauds to protest new oil licenses.
Of course, no forecast would be complete without a prognostication on the ongoing royal family feud.
Lynne said she and her son both foresee “Prince Harry being offered a role, in a bid to reconcile the family, but this will be refused rather ungraciously.”
“Any chance of family reconciliation will be torn apart, and there is further upset to come, which the royals are aware of,” she declared.
A prophetic goat named Billy also recently claimed Harry, 38, and William, 40, wouldn’t bury the saber at the coronation.

Lynne added that the proposed olive branch would spark “conversations being leaked between members of the family and Prince Harry,” which would perhaps be transcribed in a new book by Meghan Markle, 41.
She even predicted Markle will announce the book on coronation day to divert attention from the big event.
Lynne’s prophecy echoes royal biographer Tom Bower‘s prediction that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will pull a last-minute “stunt” to steal the spotlight from Charles.
Lynne also foresees Prince George, 9, and Prince Louis, 5 — whose disruptive antics stole the show at Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee last summer — having a meltdown after getting replaced at the last minute.
Lynne prays her prophecies don’t come true, but claims she’s been spot-on since she was a kid.
“At age 10, I started experiencing thoughts of the phone ringing and who would be on the other line — and I was always right,” lamented the prophetic parent.
Meanwhile, Colin made local news during the COVID-19 pandemic after foreseeing masks, empty shelves and people running around hospitals looking for oxygen.
The coronation will take place Saturday at Westminster Abbey in London. The event marks the official transfer of power to Charles after Queen Elizabeth II died at 96 in September.
