The sky over Royal Berkshire Hospital that night

Computed for 51.45°N, 9 p.m. local sky.

At 9 p.m. the star closest to straight overhead at Royal Berkshire Hospital was Mirfak, in Perseus, 82.0° up.

Of the 108 catalog stars above the horizon, Sirius was the brightest.

Royal Berkshire Hospital sits at 51.5°N, high enough that Vega, Capella and Deneb never set there — they circle the pole all night, every night of the year.

Nothing below −38.5° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Royal Berkshire Hospital on any night.

The Moon, 100% lit at full moon, was still up; the Sun sat 43° below the horizon.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out

Catherine, Princess of Wales’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q10479 (CC0), as do the occupations, works and awards above. With no documented birth time this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. The banner above lists what that leaves out. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.

Tropical zodiac, whole-sign houses, modern rulers. Aspects on the western_v1 orb policy; minor ones at 1.5° to 2.5°, skipped where a major already holds. Minor bodies from JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, Lilith as mean apogee. Dominance is an AsterNym score — rulerships, dispositors, aspect count — so other methods can name a different leader.
