Man who claims to be the ‘secret love child’ of King Charles III and Queen Camilla seeks legal help to prove his royalty
Australian Man Claims to Be Secret Love Child of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, seeks court help to prove his “royal heritage”.
Queensland-based British-born Australian Simon Dorante-Day has been on a quest to prove his royal lineage and the possibility of having blue blood running through his veins.
Adopted at eight months old by a couple whose parents worked for the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Simon grew up with the belief that he was the secret love child of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Dorante-Day’s claims
Alleged prince’s theory centres around a 1965 trip to Australia, during which he claims that his supposed father, then just 17 years old, impregnated Camilla out of wedlock. As many headlines would have it known today, Charles and Camilla met much earlier in the year 1970, to be precise, but Simon does not have any doubt about it.
Buckingham Palace has never publicly addressed Dorante-Day’s claims, but he continues to seek confirmation of his identity.
Now, as the King and Queen plan a royal visit to Australia in October, Simon sees an opportunity to launch a legal bid. He intends to take them to court, urging them to submit to a paternity test
