Princess Diana, the beloved former wife of King Charles III and mother of Princes William and Harry, tragically passed away in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997. Despite her untimely death at the age of 36, Diana continues to captivate the world with one of the most unusual claims coming from an unexpected source—a young boy in Australia who insists he is her reincarnation.
The boy, Billy Campbell, is the eight-year-old son of Australian singer, actor, and television host David Campbell. At just two years old, Billy began making startling claims, telling his parents that he was the reincarnation of Princess Diana. These assertions have shocked many, especially because Billy has shared detailed knowledge about Diana’s life that would be difficult for a child of his age to know.
Billy’s parents, David and Lisa Campbell, were initially puzzled when their son began talking about specific events and places connected to Princess Diana. Billy’s descriptions are remarkable, particularly his detailed knowledge of Balmoral Castle, the Scottish residence of the British royal family. His parents were left astonished by his precise recounting of the castle, which he described as having “unicorns on it” and being called Balmoral.
Billy’s claims go beyond just the castle. He has also described the tragic car accident in Paris that claimed Diana’s life with eerie accuracy. When shown a picture of Princess Diana, Billy reportedly said, “That’s me as a princess,” and added, “Then one day, the sirens came, and I wasn’t a princess anymore.”
David Campbell recounted another incident where Billy started referring to his two “boys.” When asked who he meant, the then three-year-old Billy confidently replied, “My sons,” referring to Princes William and Harry. This left his parents even more bewildered.
David shared these extraordinary experiences with the UK’s Mirror, explaining how their son’s uncanny recollections of Princess Diana’s life have both baffled and fascinated them.
While many may be skeptical of such claims, Billy’s detailed knowledge and his parents’ accounts of his stories continue to draw attention, adding yet another intriguing chapter to the enduring legacy of Princess Diana.
