Was Queen Elizabeth II Cursed? The Mystery of Black Magic and Royal Misfortune
In the mid-1990s, speculation about a possible curse on Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family began to captivate the public’s imagination.
Could the misfortune surrounding the Windsors, particularly in 1992, be the result of black magic or an ancient family curse?
The question emerged amid a series of tumultuous events that plagued the monarchy during a year that the Queen herself famously dubbed “Annus Horribilis”.
In the midst of these troubles, some royal observers began to speculate that the royal family might be the target of an ancient curse, a theory that gained traction in the press. The Windsor Curse, as it came to be called, was thought to explain the royal family’s misfortunes, particularly in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II’s 40th year on the throne.
The so-called Windsor Curse became a topic of discussion, especially following the Queen’s admission that 1992 had been an incredibly difficult year. But was it just a string of unfortunate events, or was something more sinister at play?
Even more ominous is the connection to the Russian royal family. King George V was cousins with Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and some speculate that the tragic fate of the Romanovs, who were executed in 1918, left a karmic stain on the British monarchy. King George’s initial offer to rescue Nicholas and his family but subsequent withdrawal due to political concerns is said to have contributed to the curse that continues to shadow the Windsors.
