They say that children always speak the truth and Billy Campbell, no matter how crazy it seemed to claim to be the reincarnation of Princess Diana, did too.
Everyone talks to us about life and death, but what about a second way to be reborn in another body? There are cases like this little one’s who, at four years old, claimed to be the very Lady Di herself.
We know it seems crazy, because she passed away 26 years ago and children like to imagine and create ideas, just as their parents thought…
“Our youngest son, Billy, is four years old. Since he was two and a half years old, he has shared several stories that at first seemed silly. He provided more information as the years passed and now we don’t know what to do with it. You see, Billy believes he was once Princess Diana,” said his dad David Campbell, a famous television presenter in Australia.
How They Found Out That Billy Campbell Was the Reincarnation of Lady Di
It all happened when Billy’s mother arrived with a postcard of Princess Diana. The child saw it and immediately said, “Look, it’s me when I was a princess.”
The little one’s family didn’t pay much attention to what he had said, thinking he was joking, until one day he claimed to have a brother named Carlos, referring to Spencer, Lady Di’s brother.
Okay, the first one could have been a simple coincidence, but this detail was much more than a four-year-old could know.
As the days went by, Billy Campbell revealed more and more about the past life of someone he had never met, and then laughter turned into fear, mystery, and many doubts: Does reincarnation really exist?
Everything was related to Princess Diana, but what left them speechless was when the child saw a picture of Prince Harry and Prince William and referred to them as “my boys.”
David, his father, didn’t know how to react to what he had just heard and asked him why he had said that. Billy, without taking his eyes off the photographs, replied, “My sons.”
Surprised and frightened, they began to show him more images related to Princess Diana, and just as a picture of Balmoral Castle appeared, the little one began to describe it corner by corner, as if he had already been there before.
The parents were convinced that Billy was the reincarnation of Lady Di, with one last photo, where her face appeared. He looked at it and said, “It’s me as a princess, one day the sirens came and I stopped being a princess forever.”
Everyone fell silent, as Billy was describing his previous life, which left them shocked and chilled to the bone.
