Woman claims she predicted Harry and Meghan Markle splitting from royal family by reading asparagus spears

The royal family news that shocked the world on Wednesday apparently did not come as a surprise to one woman in England: Self-proclaimed fortune teller Jemima Packington is claiming she predicted Harry and Meghan Markle would step back from the royal family after "reading" some asparagus spears.
Packington, 64, reportedly the world’s only "asparamancer," says she is able to see the future by throwing asparagus into the air and then observing how the spears land on the ground, British news agency SWNS reports.
“When I cast the asparagus, it creates patterns and it is the patterns I interpret,” the vegetable-reader said, explaining she inherited the ability from her aunt who read tea leaves, and has been predicting the future since she was 8 years old.

"I am usually about 75-90 percent accurate with my predictions. I go through my predictions each year and think: 'Yep, that's happened, yep, that's happened,'” the woman from Bath, Somerset, added.
Packington admits sometimes she doesn’t “quite read it correctly,” but claims she is “never far off” with her predictions.
Among her previous prophecies, Packington said that many have proven true, alleging that she was able to predict Brexit, England winning the Cricket World Cup and Theresa May being pushed out as Prime Minister.

As for her broad 2020 predictions – outside of the Royal Family – Packington said she foresees “a real shake-up of the major political parties,” “sports and sporting personalities will be embroiled in scandals,” and “concerns about global warming will again take center stage — but more countries will take action to minimize the threat to the planet."
Packington, however, did not disclose any lottery numbers or Super Bowl projections, so looks like you'll just have to roll the dice on those.

There's never a time in your life when you can think you've seen everything.
Actually, my late elderly aunt used to read tea leaves, but I don't recall if she was ever able to predict the future.
Maybe she wasn't trying to predict the future-- but merely trying to decide if she wanted milk or Lemon in her tea?
Oh, come on, Krishna, you know that the tea leaves left at the bottom of the cup once the tea has been drunk are what are read.
Like this?
Sorry, Sandy, I thought you knew I couldn't open YouTube.
Sorry, Buzz, I forgot. If you've seen the Harry Potter films, its a video of one of the professors (Trelawney, played by a batty-looking Emma Thompson) finding the Grim (a black dog that's a symbol of death) in his tea leaves. But she found the Grim in most students' tea leaves. She thought everybody was going to die. I guess technically, she's eventually right about that.
I only watched the first Harry Potter film, and maybe a few moments from others until I switched to something else. I never saw the scene you've described, but thanks for describing it for me.
Reading asparagus spears is a thing? Guess I've never paused long enough while eating them (of course topped with melty cheese) to find out
This is a thing I could never get into: the whole melted cheese on vegetables thing. And I love cheese.
It's a personal thing, mostly I just do butter (sometimes with garlic and/or herbs) but every now and then I do the melty cheese thing (only for asparagus, cauliflower or broccoli) . For me that is next level tasty
Does the cheese prevent your pee from smelling funny?
Nope
PS: If you think green asparagus makes pee smell bad try eating white asparagus.
I wonder if predictions are different if one throws white asparagus instead of green. Personally, not being a racist, I really don't care what colour one throws, but if one were to throw a mixture of green and white someone's bound to call that miscegenation.
Cheese does nothing to mask the smell of either .............believe me, lol
Probably not, I think her predictions are more dependant on what she smoked that day.
I predict if you eat asparagus it will cause a smell in the bathroom
she also added, "it makes my pee smell funny,"
I read my alphabet vegetable soup................
That's really funny.
Maybe I'll take up reading the fish or chicken bones left after someone eats - I could make a fortune.. ,
