Man declares himself king of Isle of Man
A Maryland man has caused uproar in the Isle of Man after, in what he calls the “ultimate in true-life fairy tales”, he declared himself king. The man, David Drew Howe, is a 38-year-old who claims to be a cousin of the Queen, and claims heir to the throne because of his lineage.
Though originally viewed as a joke by residents, the islander began to take the new in a different light after Mr. Howe began selling titles, starting at £50,000. The self-idolized king declares the money will go to a Malawi charity to help AIDs orphans. However, he seems to have forgotten that the Queen of England is the official monarch of the isle with the title Lord of Man.
If you really believe this guy’s claims to kingship, you can check out his site here. He has never even set foot on the Isle of Man believe it or not. Ironically, he did file his claims to the throne to Her Majesty’s Stationary Office, the proper way to claim kingship in England, a year ago and his claims have yet to be contested by the Queen.
If someone would please visit this “king”, and give him a reality check, everyone would appreciate it.
