Bruce Conde

Bruce Conde (akas: Bruce Alfonso de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, Alfonso Yorba, and Hajji Abdurrahman; born December 5, 1913 – died July 19, 1992) was a US Army officer, stamp collector, royal imposter, and a general for Royalist forces during the North Yemen Civil War.

Without travel documents, he spent three weeks in the Cairo Airport before moving to Beirut, Lebanon where he became a correspondent for Linn's Stamp News.

Conde eventually found himself invited to the tiny emirate of Sharjah, where he established a post office and again taught the country how to generate revenue from the sale of postage stamps to collectors.

He eventually rose to the rank of General, while in the meantime overseeing the production of Royalist Yemen postage stamps, which helped to raise funds for the cause.

He adopted her son, Alexis Brimeyer, who spent a lifetime attempting to prove his alleged connection to European royalty.
