Queen Elizabeth died in a year when her natal ascending sign (Capricorn) is in the 8th house of death in this year's solar return chart and Saturn, the ruler, is angular, conjunct the MC. Saturn in Aquarius was of course a difficult transit for her, especially at her age, making hard aspects these past two years or so with her Sun, Moon, Saturn (ascendant ruler), Mars (exact conjunction on the day of her death) and Jupiter. Interestingly, although Charles is going to ascend to the throne, Prince William's chart is much more royal than his father's. He has the same configuration as Elizabeth, that is the ruler of the ascendant is conjunct the 10th house cusp and progressed Jupiter is now in the same degree as the MC. We'll see how things turn out for Charles in the years ahead.
