Meanwhile, the York brothers’ hands point to a “sensitive” sister who “needs protection,” according to Johnny, while the latter is “fiery” and determined to stand on her own.

Read on to find out what the Royal Family’s strikingly different hands tell us about their personalities…

KATE HAS A REAL SOCIAL CONSCIENCE

Perhaps the most unusual aspect of Kate’s hands is that her middle finger is almost the same length as her index and ring fingers; most people’s are noticeably longer.

While our middle finger is not affected by estrogen and testosterone in the womb because it has fewer hormone receptors, the length of this finger is of great importance for palm readers.

‘Kate’s middle finger should be 2cm longer than the others,’ Johnny said, and continued: ‘The fact that it doesn’t shows that she has tremendous sympathy for outsiders. It is strongly directed towards the oppressed.’

But the royal family may face a shock in the coming years. ‘As Kate gets older, she may want to escape the constraints of royal life. ‘Most such people end up living in a country other than the one where they were born.’

Palm experts believe that the shape of your palm says a lot about you; There are four basic types, one for each element: fire, water, earth, and air.

“Kate has a cool palm, square, with long, thin fingers and very bony, pale hands,” Johnny said.

‘People with air palms are quiet, elegant, intelligent, sensitive and expressive. They generally do not like to be in a situation where there are too many obstacles to their freedom. They like to come and go as they please and travel a lot.

‘While fascinating, they are often difficult to pin down, somewhat unknowable and distant.’

Kate’s slender little finger is longer than usual, a sign of her curiosity about the world and her ability to interact with and influence others. ‘Such people are often good with money and good with words,’ says the expert, ‘but they are more likely to be romantically deviant.’

Andrew’s Twisted Destiny and ‘Pleasure Addiction’

Particularly striking is the ‘alarming’ line of fate running vertically upwards from the middle of the palm; Other characteristics point to ‘pleasure addiction’.

Johnny described Andrew’s hand – ‘a square palm with short, stubby fingers’ – as an ‘earth hand’, meaning he has an ‘affinity with the physical, practical and material world’.

However, the ‘alarming’ fate line extending vertically upwards from the middle of the palm and its features suggestive of ‘pleasure addiction’ are particularly striking.

Johnny described it as ‘It curves upward on the radial side of the palm and shows a serious lack of gravity, duty and obedience.’

‘This line diverges from the life line and shows that he avoids family protocols, is his own man, makes his own rules and has no drive to achieve goals set by the family.’

Elsewhere, disgraced Duke also has ‘enormous’ lower phalanges, expert says’It refers to an extremely sensual nature, someone who loves luxury and pleasures of the senses.

“He can get stuck in a cycle of constantly needing ‘hits’ sexually, gastronomically and tactilely,” Johnny continued. ‘Broad base phalanges often create addiction to pleasure.’

But Andrew’s hands also indicate internal turmoil.

‘The index (Jupiter) digit is short and slightly bent, creating a lack of independence and a serious lack of inner confidence,’ Johnny explained.

‘Though this may have been disguised by the love of ostentation shown by the long ring (Apollo) finger.

The palmistry expert added that the pinky finger could indicate ‘opportunistic’ tendencies.

“The little finger ruled by Mercury is long and juts out,” Johnny said. ‘This is a classic sign of someone with a sharp sense of humor and an opportunist who, in terms of relationships, is ‘on the lookout’, a bit of a charmer, hooked on an encounter outside the confines of formal marriage.

‘The line joining the head line and the heart line indicates great difficulty in giving up in terms of love and romance: possesses a sense of possessiveness in matters of the heart. But it shows a great sense of commitment on the part of the family and the children.’

Johnny added: ‘He likes things that are concrete, real, things that can be seen and touched. He has an innate distrust of abstract ideas, intellectual approaches to life, and reading and study in general.

‘Earth types place great trust in institutions and family, such as traditional organized structures. They instinctively want to preserve traditions and they love history and can live very much in the past.

‘There is an affinity and love for nature and outdoor activities. Like all earth types, Andrew will have a natural physique and will enjoy good food and outdoor exercise. When unmotivated he can tend to be lazy and can be a bit insensitive due to a crude sense of humour.’

THE LUXURIOUS LOVE OF PRINCE PHILIP

Palmist Johnny pointed out that Prince Philip’s fingers are extremely wide at the base, then tapering off at the tips of the fingers.

Palmist Johnny noted that Prince Philip’s fingers are extremely wide at the base, then gradually taper at the tips of the fingers.

‘This is a sign of someone who is very touchy and wants the best in everything,’ he said.

‘They are very particular about the food they eat, have exquisite taste in wine and want to live in luxury.

‘This also applies to their attitudes towards the opposite sex; They want to have a beautiful partner.’

If your fingers have thin, athletic soles, then you’re the opposite. “Many Buddhist monks have fingers like this,” Johnny said.

‘SENSITIVE’ BEATRICE ‘NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED’

According to Johnny, ‘sensitive’ Beatrice has a ‘water hand’, meaning her palm is ‘rectangular and long-fingered’ and will need ‘protection’

According to Johnny, ‘sensitive’ Beatrice has a ‘water hand’, meaning her palm is ‘oblong and long-fingered’ and she needs ‘protection’.

‘People who use the water hand are extremely sensitive, vulnerable and highly cultured, and have a strong sense of compassion towards others,’ he explained.

‘He won’t be very good and won’t be able to withstand the hang-ups and arrows of being unpopular and experiencing negativity.

‘His hand shows a strong sense of empathy and the need for protection. He will be sympathetic to the needs of others and will want to insure himself against loss and injury. ‘Often women with water hands marry someone older, more financially secure and stable than themselves, in order to have someone they can lean on.’

He pointed out that keeping the index finger away from the other fingers was ‘indicative of someone who does not want to rely on their parents as a stable influence’.

‘He will want to keep both physical and psychological distance from his parents whenever possible and will want his partner or his own capacity to provide stability,’ he added.

‘His middle (Saturn) finger is also bent, indicating crooked and unbalanced parenting, and one he is keen to avoid repeating with his own children.

‘The two numbers (Jupiter and Saturn) indicate a strong sense that he wants a life for himself that is very different from the role he was brought up to fulfill. However, his sensitive nature will mean that he will avoid major displays of complaint and rebellion, moving quietly and cautiously through life.’

Johnny also described a strong ‘hood’ that was slightly curved and ‘very beautiful in nature’.

‘He is clearly well educated and extremely intelligent. ‘There is openness and talent for language and communication,’ he continued.

‘The heart line is thin and curved, indicating a good capacity for relationship building and romance. Multiple fine lines on the radial side of the palm indicate high levels of stress.’

‘Bubbly’ EUGENIE IS DETERMINED TO PAVE HER OWN PATH

“Eugenie has a hot hand; a rectangular palm and medium-length fingers,” Johnny shared, meaning she was determined to stand on her own two feet

“Eugenie has a hot hand; a rectangular palm and medium-length fingers,” Johnny shared, meaning she’s determined to stand on her own two feet.

‘This is a very different personality from his sister; outgoing, extroverted, lively and cheerful,’ he said.

‘He has a drive to perform, achieve and achieve goals and will be a much stronger and tougher sibling.

‘The fire hand can work for someone who jumps in with both feet without considering all possible outcomes, so there is always the capacity to jump too quickly and make mistakes.’

Their characteristics also indicate high ambitions and independence.

‘The index (Jupiter) finger is very long. This shows a domineering and quite controlling pattern, which can be a bit overwhelming at times,’ said the palmist.

‘The long index indicates a responsible, confident and protective instinct towards those around him; therefore, he will be the one to guard and protect his mother and sister when they are battered by the currents of life.

‘He has a strong drive to push himself to ideal levels and get what he wants. ‘His high expectations for himself will mean that he will want a great marriage, a great house, beautiful children and may be a bit unrealistic in his ambitions.’

Meanwhile, other details suggest that he sometimes acted before he spoke.

‘The head person is on a lifeline and that’s why she’s not as well-educated, sophisticated and intelligent as her older sister,’ Johnny added.

‘This can be a problem as he will not think everything through before speaking and acting. This is a demanding personality, but he will try hard to realize his ideals, and it will work.

‘Like his sister, he has a bent middle (Saturn) finger, so he will want to raise his own children in a very different way from how he was raised.

‘She can get back on her feet much quicker than her sister and is generally less worried about injuries and criticism. He’s got a lot of activity, so he’s always up to something: a lot of projects on the go and probably a lot of social and business contacts.’
