Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles are one of the most controversial figures in the British royal family. Most citizens hate them for cheating on Princess Diana, but people have softened a bit after they got married. However, a whole range of conspiracy theories have emerged since they started to live as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.

Many reports and rumors have been speculated about them. But interestingly, many of them are so strange and are simply unbelievable. Here are four conspiracy theories about Prince Charles and Camilla that have been going around for years now.

Prince Charles Is Dracula’s Heir

This sounds weird, but one of the most circulated conspiracy theories states that Prince Charles is a vampire. Apparently, this rumor has been thriving because the claim actually has a basis.

Based on genealogy records, Camilla’s husband is believed to be a descendant of Vlad the Impaler, a brutal local ruler who punishes people by placing them on wooden spikes and has become the inspiration for the “Dracula” novel written by Bram Stoker.

According to The Daily Star, this information was first mentioned in the book of Iain Moncreiffe, titled “Royal Highness,” which was published in 1982. It shows the lineage of the British royals from as far back as Prince Charles’ great-grandmother, Queen Mary, the consort of George V, to Vlad IV, the half-brother of Vlad the Impaler.

It is believed that Queen Mary was related to the fabled bloodsucker of the fifteenth century, and Prince Charles, who showed great interest in Transylvania, is just thrilled to know that he has some links to Dracula. The bizarre suspicions that he’s a vampire heightened when he admitted in an interview that he’s indeed related to Vlad III.

Charles And Camilla’s Secret Child

There are stories that say that Prince Charles and Camilla have a love child. This was first revealed by Simon Dorante-Day, who allegedly has photos to back his claim.

It turned out that Dorante-Day told Australia’s New Idea magazine that he’s the son whom the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall had kept a secret for decades. He narrated that Camilla got pregnant when Prince Charles and Princess Diana were still together, but he was given up for adoption so no one will know about his existence.

Camilla Converted To Catholicism

The duchess was married to a Roman Catholic gentleman, Andrew Parker-Bowles. Their two children, Tom and Laura, were also baptized in the Catholic faith.

Royal observer Sallie Smythe explained that Camilla, who’s an Anglican, didn’t convert to the religion that her family is practicing. She continues to worship under the Anglican church.

Charles Orchestrated Diana’s ‘Accident’ To Marry His First Love

After Princess Diana’s tragic death, theorists believe that rather than an accident, she was killed under the instruction of Prince Charles. This surfaced after Di’s former butler, Paul Burell, wrote a book called “Royal Duty.”

In the book, Burrell revealed that the princess was worried because her husband is planning to kill her so he can get married again. He alleged that she even mentioned about her car being rigged to cause her “accident.”
