A planet's house is read at the recorded birth time.
The Moon reached Ardra at about 1:38 pm, more than seven hours before he was born. Rahu rules this nakshatra. In his chart Rahu sits right beside the Moon.
Dhanu rose over London from 8:45 to 10:41 pm that evening. Jupiter sits in Tula (Libra) and was retrograde, seeming to move backward in the sky. His Earthshot Prize for climate solutions gave its first awards in October 2021.
Saturn's own long period began in February 2010. On 8 September 2022, inside that period, he became Duke of Cornwall. Mars, the planet of energy and drive, shares this house.
Venus held Vrishabh from midnight to midnight, so the sign is certain for any birth hour. Which house it falls in depends on the time. Mercury, the planet of speech and skill, keeps it company.
Prince William's chart rises in Dhanu (Sagittarius). Its ruler Jupiter sits in Tula (Libra), in the eleventh house of gains and friends. Dhanu held the eastern horizon in London from 8:45 to 10:41 pm, so a 9:03 pm birth sits well inside it.
Saturn and Mars share the tenth house of career, in Kanya (Virgo). Saturn is the planet of duty and patience; Mars is the planet of drive. Venus is in its own sign Vrishabh (Taurus), with Mercury beside it.
His Moon is in Mithun (Gemini), in the nakshatra Ardra. The Sun and Rahu join it in the seventh house of partners and the wider public. This reading sets his chart beside the public record of his life. It does not say the chart decided that life.

Every main period holds even with a birth time 15 minutes either way. Three sub-periods are blank, because they change inside that margin.
All five events fall in Saturn's long period, which began in February 2010. Saturn sits in his tenth house of career.
The first Earthshot ceremony came in the Moon's sub-period. The formal Prince of Wales title came in the sub-period of Mars, the planet beside Saturn.
