The Prince of Wales might have some competition for the throne. An American is claiming to be a direct descendent of the royal Welsh bloodline dating back to the 3rd century. Allan Evans from Wheat Ridge, Colorado, has launched his bid for the royal title of king and the royal estate. Evans, however, is kind enough to wait until Her Majesty has died until staking his claim on the throne “out of greatest and most deepest respect,” according to The Sun.
Evans claims to be 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 invasions. As stated in The Sun, the two-column ad says: “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.”
Evans says that he is a descendant of John Evans Sr of Aberfraw Parish, Anglesey. In the ad, he says, his elleged ancestor “was politically assassinated and the last known King of Wales.”
The ad continues, stating that in thirty days “legal notice”’of his intention to launch a claim to “all said estate lands, assets, peerage titles, armorial bearings, Royal Titles, and the Royal Tithe and Crown of Wales.
“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.
“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.”
Consequently, the Attorney General’s Office has yet to receive any such claim from Mr Evans. Oddly enough, this isn’t the first incident the excentric American has made such bizarre claims. In 2012, the website 13wmaz.com said that Evans attempted to claim 400 acres of land in Twiggs county, Georgia, USA. He said his ancestors lived there, but he had no evidence to prove it; all relevant records were destroyed in a courthouse fire in 1901.
Sirs,
For your guidance, I would inform you that an American is a person from America but what is America?
America is a continent, NOT a country WHATSOEVER. As continent, America is a land that goes from Canada to Argentina and a Canadian, a Mexican, a Cuban, a Brazilian, an Argentinean, etc. are as Americans as a citizen of the United States.
Therefore, please, in future, refer to the them as citizens of the U.S., NOT simply as Americans.
Thanks and best regards.

The term American refers to citizen of U.S. of AMERICA. It’s obvious.
Just like Asians and Europeans, we know that neither Asia nor Europe like Americas (North and South America) are nations but are continents. One cannot be citizen of any one continent as a continent may be comprised of several countries. Besides NO citizens of any Other Country on either of the American continents calls themselves from America or American. For instance Canadians are from Canada, Mexicans are from Mexico, Brasilians are from Brasil, Chileans are from Chile, Colombians are from Colomoba, likewise Americans are from United States of AMERICA. You see what I mean? When they American the reference is to the country and that country in question is always U.S. of AMERICA.
Raul, you’re right pal, but please don’t be under the impression that we’re ALL like that; that leads to the stereotyping that we’re so often accused of doing.
Another eccentric publicity seeker.
Before this fellow becomes king he should learn English. Don’t if the translation or the writer but the spelling is atrocious. What is excentric?
