The anecdote:

... She [Queen Christina] had given her self entirely for some years to the study of Astrology: And upon that she told me, the King [James II] would live yet many years, but added that he would have no son.

German translation (by Herteln):

Diese Königinn [Christina] hatte sich damals [1687] ganz und gar der Sterndeuter-Kunst ergeben / und sagte mir / der König würde noch viele Jahre erleben / aber keinen Sohn bekommen.

Swedish translation (from source 2):

Drottning Christina, säger den Ängelske Biskopen Doct. Burnet, hade den tiden jag war i Rom (år 1687) lagt sig hel och hållen på stjerntydare-konsten, och hon sade mig, at Konung Jakob den 2 i Ängelland skulle ännu lefwa i många år, men icke få någon Son til arfwinge.
