Royals Every Aquarius Can Relate To
No one really knows the royal family. The family keeps it extremely professional when it comes to greeting the public, which is understandable considering the entire world is watching every move they make. When they let that guard down and share little glimpses of their true personalities, people notice. As an Aquarius, that alone makes the family all the more appealing. The air sign is often mysterious since they don't wear their hearts on their sleeves (via Your Tango). That said, not every member of the royal family would get along with an Aquarius, but there are plenty that would.
At first glance, it might seem weird that Aquarians would be interested in the royal family at all. The sign is often seen going against the status quo and doesn't take well to authority. As Bustle noted, they will challenge what's seen to be the right way and have no problem rooting for the underdog. So, when there's a member of the royal family who rebels a bit, the water bearers are all about it.
When it comes to members of the royal family, Aquariases love anyone that goes against what it traditionally means to be royal and makes their own rules. Here are all the rebellious royals that Aquarians would get along with perfectly.
Princess Anne
There is only one thing you need to know to realize that Princess Anne — who is not a fan of how "The Crown" portrayed her — and any Aquarius would get along. Despite being Queen Elizabeth II's only daughter, she declined her royal title for herself and her children. The now 71-year-old was the first of her siblings to marry and have children and was made an offer by the queen to have her children, Peter and Zara Philips, hold royal titles. She declined.
"I think it was probably easier for them, and I think most people would argue that there are downsides to having titles," Princess Anne has said, according to Vanity Fair. "So I think that was probably the right thing to do." If that doesn't scream big Aquarius energy, we don't know what does.
Another telling sign that the two would get along is Princess Anne's fashion choices. Vanity Fair noted she was the first royal to take sustainable fashion into account. As Astrotalk points out, Aquarians are the most humanitarian of all the signs. It seems like Princess Anne and an Aquarius would have a whole lot to talk about over dinner.
Princess Diana
We can't talk royal rebels without including Princess Diana. Let's be honest, there's not a sign out there that wouldn't love The People's Princess. The late member of the royal family had her sun in Cancer, which made her a feeler, but also had her moon in Aquarius (via Nylon). That makes sense considering she "could plant the seeds of global reinvention from within," as Nylon explained.
Yes, Princess Diana had great style and was not afraid to do things her own way. But the one thing that would tie her to an Aquarius is her humanitarian heart. During her time in the royal family, she was linked to more than 100 charities, according to Time. She worked with The Halo Trust, which works to rid the world of landmines, and was an advocate for people living with HIV and AIDS. Time noted she was even the first celebrity to shake hands with AIDS patients without gloves.
Humanitarian hearts would definitely align between the water bearers and Princess Diana's Aquarian moon.
Meghan Markle
Naturally, we move from Princess Diana to the next most rebellious royal — Meghan Markle. She somehow convinced Prince Harry to leave the royal family for goodness sake. Though the Duchess of Sussex might not have any Aquarius in her chart — she's a Leo sun, Cancer moon, and Cancer rising, according to People — many of her values align with that of the water bearers.
Leo and Aquarius are complete opposites, but, as Thought Catalog pointed out, they make a pretty compatible pair. The publication says that friendship between the two is rooted in passion, beauty, and confidence. The pairing would likely have a whole lot to talk about and an Aquarius would love diving deep into not only Markle's stories of being in the royal family but also her lessons learned.
From sustainable fashion to breaking free of the royal family, something tells us that the conversation between an Aquarian and Markle would cover a whole lot of territory and never get boring.
Princess Margaret
With a Leo sun, Aries rising, and Cancer moon, Princess Margaret is a big personality but also a feeler (via Astro Charts). That makes for the perfect friendship between her and an Aquarius. It turns out that modern astrology might not even be a thing if it weren't for her.
According to Oprah Daily, astrologer R.H. Naylor wrote a column for Sunday Express three days after Princess Margaret was born and predicted most of what has actually happened in her life. The publication said that Naylor predicted she would show "scorn of restraint" which shows up throughout her life. A Leo that doesn't get to be the center of attention? Yeah, that's some serious scorn.
Princess Margaret is known as the rebellious sister, according to PopSugar. From her nude photoshoots to her affairs, the publication notes that the title was well lived up to, making her the perfect dinner party guest for an equally rebellious Aquarius to sit next to.
Princess Beatrice
Princess Beatrice lays low, which is what makes her instantly loved by Aquariuses. There's nothing the sign loves more than a little mystery. According to Express, the 33-year-old is a Leo, so obviously the two signs are going to thrive. What makes the pair even more compatible are the facts that we do know about Princess Beatrice.
Not only did she go to Karlie Kloss' wedding festivities — and stay throughout the karaoke, might we add — but she sat right next to her (via Town & Country). That means she appreciates strong, business-minded women who blaze their own paths — aka she will get along with an Aquarius perfectly.
To top it all off, she's a very loyal sister. Despite her and her sister being total opposites, they get along just fine (as noted by Telegraph). "We get on fantastically well, perhaps because we do and think different things. Like all sisters, we have silly arguments about unimportant stuff, but we do love each other to death."
Fiercely loyal, down for karaoke, and friends with powerful women without stealing their thunder? Princess Beatrice is an Aquarius' best friend.
