It is Legolas who claims to recognise Imrahil's Elven heritage. Some would say the story about Imrazôr and Mithrellas was just a legend, and not true, but I would rather trust Legolas in this matter.

I agree.

At length they came to the Prince Imrahil, and Legolas looked at him and bowed low, for he saw that here indeed was one who had elven-blood in his veins. 'Hail, lord,' he said, 'It is long since the people of Nimrodel left the woodlands of Lórien, and yet one may see that not all sailed from Amroth's haven west over water.'
'So it is said in the lore of my land,' said the Prince, 'yet never has one of the fair folk been seen there for years beyond count. And I marvel to see one here now in the midst of sorrow and war.'

Note that Imrahil does not make any direct claim, but ascribes it to "lore."
