Colorado man claiming to be descendant of King of Wales vows to return to Britain and overthrow Prince Charles as heir to the throne
AN ECCENTRIC American says he will claim the British throne because of an obscure ancestral link.
Kooky Allan V Evans put a rambling ad in The Times insisting he will launch a bid for his "royal historical estate" in just thirty days time.
But the Queen need not worry just yet - as he has been kind enough to wait until after she dies before assuming the throne "out of greatest and most deepest respect".
The two-column advert says Mr Evans: "Shall further pursue an injustice of history by claiming by right the Throne and Sovereign Crown of Great Britain at Westminster, upon whence the sad future death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as he will not out of greatest and most deepest respect depose her in life for the great service and selfless sacrifice that she and her husband HRH Prince Philip has rendered to this great nation."
Mr Evans claims his ancestral links date back to the third century AD and that he is a descendent of Cunedda - an early Welsh leader in the 5th century, who was according to legend sent to the region to stop Irish and Pict incursions.
He alleges that he descends from John Evans Sr of Aberfraw Parish, Anglesey, who according to the advert "was politically assassinated and the last known King of Wales".
The last sovereign Prince of Wales was Llywelyn ap Gruffudd before Edward I conquered the region in the 13th century.
The ad claims to give "legal notice" of his intention to launch a claim in thirty days to "all said estate lands, assets, peerage titles, armorial bearings, Royal Titles, and the Royal Tithe and Crown of Wales."
It adds: "Moreover, that the said Allan V. Evans shall apply to claim his said Royal Estate at the Government Legal Office at 1 Kemble Street in London."

The ad says: "Take heed and rejoice, all Welshmen, Scots, Manx, all Britons, and all citizens of the great nation called Great Britain, that the light of freedom and egalitarism shall be promoted and promulgated, that democracy and all democratic values will be promoted and that Lady Britannia who has contributed so much to the culture and history of the world shall be renewed and made great once again.
"For the legend was not a myth but was indeed true, and more than a mere Tolkien story, that the men of the West are now returning and now is the time of the return of the King."
The Attorney General's Office said they had not yet received any claim from Mr Evans.
Website 13wmaz,com reported that in 2012 a man also called Allan V Evans from Wheat Ridge, Colorado, tried to claim 400 acres of land in Twiggs county, Georgia, USA, claiming that his ancestors lived there - but stating all his evidence was destroyed in a county courthouse fire in 1901.
You do you, Allan.
