Prince Harry has just told the world that he believes in reincarnation and wants to come back to life as an elephant! The British royal is far from the only famous face to believe we have past, and future, lives. Read on to discover which celebrities intend to return to Earth after they die...

The stand-up legend admitted shortly after his retirement that he was "sure" that there was life after death and that he "refused" to accept the possibility that he would just turn to nothing after death. Billy, 80, said: "I’m sure there’s something. I’m sure there’s something. That I’ll be squashed, like any other garden mite, and that’ll be the end. Well that can’t be what happens, can it?"

The 'Oops!…I Did It Again' hitmaker previously admitted that because she is such a "trendsetter", she herself could be the reincarnation of 1960s Hollywood glamour icon Audrey Hepburn, who died in 1993. Just one issue, Britney was already 11 when Hepburn passed away! She said: "In a previous life I think I was Audrey Hepburn, because she was a trend setter."

The 'Flowers' hitmaker remarked relatively early on in her career, a couple of years before the release of her smash song 'Wrecking Ball', that she would like to be reincarnated as an aquatic creature. Miley, 30, said: "Dear Universe, For my next life can I please come back as some form of marine life? Such a great day. The water makes me feel so free!"

The reality superstar is mother to North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm - who she shares with her ex-husband Kanye West - and likes to think that her youngest is the reincarnation of her late dad Robert Kardashian, who died in 2003 at the age of 59. Kim said: "My baby nurse, I had to go out of town and I really needed her to come in. "But she had a baby shower that she had to go to. And I said, 'It's okay, you can bring my son to the baby shower, if that's okay with you.' I really needed the help. She brings him to a baby shower, and a woman comes up to her and said, 'Is this your son?' And she said, 'No, no, no, I'm just watching him.' And she said, 'Well, I just have to tell you, please tell their mom this is a family member of hers reincarnated. "Multiple people that had no idea that was my nanny or anything have come up to my baby to say that he's a family member reincarnated. So my whole family thinks it's my dad and is just so emotional and close to him."

In November 2001, The Beatles legend passed away from lung cancer which had spread throughout his body to his brain. Death held no fear for George as he was a devout Hindu, and as a follower of the Indian religion he believed in rebirth. In Martin Scorsese’s documentary, 'George Harrison: Living in the Material World', his wife Olivia revealed that George had been "practicing" for his passing for years by doing his morning mantras so he would know how to leave his body when the time came. In the film, she said: "There was a profound experience that happened when he left his body. "It was visible. Let’s just say you wouldn’t need to light the room if you were trying to film it. You know, he just lit the room.”

The 'Bat out of Hell' legend passed away in January 2022 at the age of 74 after falling very ill but in the years prior to his death revealed he had been having conversations with ghosts. He said: "I believe there’s something when you die because there are ghosts. I’ve seen them, I’ve been around them. Some are just energy left behind, and some are intelligent. I’ve had conversations with them using a K2 meter, which lets them answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’.”

The late royal - who died in a car crash in 1997 at the age of 36 - revealed in the years that followed her tragic death , Diana's personal astrologer Debbie Frank revealed that she always believed those in death were more "free" to help others than those still alive. She said: "She truly felt alive being included in the intimate situations surrounding the dying, where all pretence is gone. She frequently said she felt her father was with her and watching over her. She also believed that in death people became even more free to help from beyond!"

The 'Poker Face' hitmaker revealed that she firmly believes in rebirth, and in fact she claims she is her aunt’s reincarnation. Gaga said: "I believe you can be reborn over and over again. I believe I was my father's sister. My father's sister died when she was 19 years old and I believe her spirit is with me and so I believe that I am her reincarnation."

The former Disney Channel star claims she is able to tell from the vibe of a room whether anything spooky has happened there and believes she has a "very strong connection" to the afterlife. She said: "I think I have a really strong connection to the afterlife. My mom's friend is a medium, and we've talked about things … Stuff will just happen. "When I walk into a room, I can tell if something has happened there or not, or if a hotel is haunted. I feel like the more present you are in your everyday life, the more aware you are of your surroundings and the energy in the room."

Prince Harry - who is the son of King Charles and his late wife Princess Diana - now lives in the US with his wife, former 'Suits' actress Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Harry revealed that his wish is to come back as an elephant after he departs this life. He said: "I think we become animals." Agreeing that he meant reincarnation, Harry was then asked what he hoped to come back as. To which he replied: "An elephant."
