French philosopher Nostradamus has made four predictions about 2024 - we could be in for a new Pope and a new king

Most of us have no idea what's around the corner because we don't have a crystal ball, but there are some people who possess special talents to be able to see in to the future.

One of those people is a French philosopher and astrologer called Nostradamus. He died more than 450 years ago, but his extraordinary skill means that he left behind predictions for the modern day, including 2023, 2024 and many more years to come.

Nostradamus has allegedly previously predicted many events in history including the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies for the Future, by Mario Reading, outlines and interprets his writings. In the week leading up to the late monarch’s death, on Thursday September 8, 2022 the book sold just five copies. By the end of the week ending September 17, almost 8,000 copies were sold according to the Sunday Times.

Nostradamus also allegedly foresaw the Great Fire of London in 1666, Hitler’s rise to power in 1919, the two world wars from 1914 to 1918 and 1939 to 1945, and even the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. So, with such accurate predictions to his name - just what has Nostradamus predicted for 2024, and did any of his 2023 predictions come true? Here's all you need to know.
