David Icke explains his infamous theory why 'Queen IS a shape-shifting reptile'

CONSPIRACY theory king David Icke has spoken at length about why he believes the Queen of England is actually a shape-shifting reptilian lizard from outer space.

The former BBC Grandstand presenter, who famously came out as a major conspiracy theorist during an interview with the late Sir Terry Wogan in 1991, was interviewed for a YouTube video shown by channel New World Order TV.

In it, he cemented his claims that the British royal family are descended from a reptilian blood line.

Icke subscribes to the Illuminati conspiracy theory that a secret society made up of the royals, political and business leaders actually pulls the strings of world, seemingly democratic governments, from behind the scenes.

But, he adds to this that members of the Illuminati, including all world royal families, and high powered business, and political families are the descendants of ancient hybrids between reptilian aliens and humans.

Icke was asked by the interviewer if he genuinely believed in the theory and where it stemmed from.

He said: "Oh God yes. I did not sit in a dark room and come up with this theory nor go looking for it.

"I have travelled and been to 50 countries to research it."

He said people all over the globe had provided the same evidence to back up the theory, including CIA insiders.

He said: "It took the form of meeting people who tell of experiences of seeing people, often in positions of power, change from human from to a reptilian form and back again in front of their eyes."
