Island gets second American 'king'

The Isle of Man may have another American king - after a man in Colorado claimed he's the rightful heir to the throne.

Allan Evans took an advert out in The Times newspaper this week claiming he's descended from a fifth century king of Wales and the Isle of Man.

He says that means he's the real Island ruler, and he'll take up his crown in 30 days time.

He's the second person from America claiming to be the Manx monarch in recent years.

Drew Howe, from Maryland, declared himself King of Mann in 2007 after researching his genealogy.

He went on to star in a reality TV show featuring the Island as he arrived with his family to claim the throne.

Mr Evans, however, says he won't take up the throne while the Queen is still alive.

But in his advert this week, he says he's giving notice to the Manx people that he'll assume the throne and make Britain great again.
