He said that the two-year-old Billy pointed towards the image and responded eerily, "Look! It's me when I was a princess."
What more weirder was that Billy was aware of Prince William andPrince Harrytoo.
David said that his son spoke about "his two boys". He said, "When asked what boys, our then three-year-old would say his 'sons'. Ok... strange, but sure, mate."
“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,” David said to Mirror UK.

"The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland and there are unicorns on the walls, how does he know this?" wrote David.
David said that the most spooky moment was when Billy spoke about Diana's death in 1997. "Then one day the sirens came and I wasn't a princess any more," the boy said.
In his column, David wrote, "Here is a child with no knowledge whatsoever of the monarchy. How could he? Will Billy grow up and never remember this? Could he actually be the reincarnated essence of the People's Princess?”
