Craig Hamilton-Parker

Craig Hamilton-Parker (born 1954) is a British psychic and writer on Spiritualist topics. He is referred to by the popular press as the "Prophet of Doom", who achieved notoriety for predicting Brexit and the 2016 election of Donald Trump.

Psychic predictions Hamilton-Parker has been remarked for frequently making bleak and dystopian predictions. He also predicted that the post-Brexit economy of the United Kingdom would "thrive", with a strong pound and weak euro. Hamilton-Parker's claim to predicting Brexit and Trump has been disputed. During the 2016 Republican primaries, he originally predicted Jeb Bush would win, and his predictions for the actual act of Britain leaving the European Union were several years ahead of schedule.

He also claims to have predicted the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming in 2017 that a flu pandemic would sweep the world at some future point. In 2019, he predicted that Theresa May would pass a Brexit deal on 29 March and immediately resign to be succeeded by Boris Johnson.

Prior to the 2020 United States presidential election, he wrongly predicted that Donald Trump would win a second term with "unexpected" states such as Florida and that Joe Biden would drop out of the primaries. In October 2024, he wrongly predicted a "2025 divorce" between Meghan and Harry.

Mediumship Hamilton-Parker is also a medium, someone who asserts they can channel and communicate with the deceased. His highest-profile demonstration of mediumship was in 2003, when he purportedly contacted the spirit of Princess Diana on a pay-per-view television program. The program received significant criticism for airing without the consent of her sons, and was only broadcast in the United States due to United Kingdom broadcast laws. A number of sequences were cut due to potentially violating Independent Television Commission guidelines. It was also criticised in America, with one reviewer describing the show as "exploitation at its very worst". The seance was attended by Louise Carr-Reed, Princess Diana's personal assistant at the time of her death.

Hamilton-Parker, alongside his wife Jane, starred in the BBC 2 series Mediums: Talking to the Dead in 2004.

Personal life Hamilton-Parker has been married to his wife Jane, a fellow psychic, since 1987. They have two daughters and live in Eastleigh.
