The son of an Australian TV presenter who believes he is the reincarnation of the late Princess Diana first made the bizarre claims when he was only two years old. Billy Campbell was born 18 years after her death in 1997 and he claims to vividly remember past memories of her life.
Despite Billy never being taught anything about the royals before his strange comments, he told his family he had a brother named John and on another occasion mentioned his two 'boys' ie. William and Harry. Strangely enough his claims add up as Princess Diana did have a brother named John who died before she was born, the Mirror reports.
Dad David, 40, initially made the wild claims about his then four-year-old son in a column for Stellar Magazine in 2019 which he described as the 'weirdest' thing he has ever written. Billy's father recalls: "He started to refer to his two 'boys'. When asked what boys, our then three-year-old would say his 'sons'.
In the article, he begins by stating that Billy first started mentioning his alleged past life when he was just two-years-old when he pointed to an image of Diana on a card and exclaimed: "Look, it's me when I was a princess."
On another occasion, the youngster made an accurate description of what Balmoral Castle looks like, which was Queen Elizabeth's favourite residence despite never having seen it for himself. The dad said: "To a Scottish friend of ours, he claimed when he was Princess Diana he used to go to a castle in that kilted wonderland.
"He described the castle as having 'unicorns on it' and was called Balmoral. The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland and there are unicorns on the walls, how does he know this???"
A few years ago, Billy left his family gobsmacked once again when he discussed Diana's passing. The late Princess of Wales who was married to the now King Charles the III from 1981 to 1996 tragically died following a car crash on August 31, 1997 in Paris.
David said: "Lisa showed him another photo of Diana and Billy said: 'There's me as a princess. Then one day the sirens came and I wasn't a princess anymore.'" David concluded his column by questioning: “Will Billy grow up and never remember this?
"Could he actually be the reincarnated essence of the People's Princess?” Since the shocking 2019 declaration, it appears the youngster hasn't mentioned anything more about his alleged reincarnation.
However, this isn't the first time a young boy has shared memories from a past life of someone else in the public eye. Ryan Hammond from Oklahoma stated he can vividly recall being an esteemed Hollywood movie star in a past life.
The young boy first started making the claims in 2015 when he was 11-years-old as he stated that he had been a powerful Hollywood agent named Marty Martyn who passed away 40 years before he was born in a past life. The youngster could vividly remember living in Hollywood during the 1940s and even explained in detail how his heart 'exploded' when he died and then he went towards the light.
His peculiar claims shocked his parents and the boy son appeared on daytime TV multiple times after his story made national press in the US. The late movie star once lived a luxurious life in New York City among his famous friends and married four times before his death in 1964 when he suffered a brain haemorrhage.
