An Australian man who believes he is King Charles’ “secret son” has made a wild claim that a quadruple paternity test should be carried out in a bid to prove his claims.
British-born Simon Charles Dorante-Day has made headlines around the world for unproven claims that he is the illegitimate son of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
He was born on April 5, 1966 in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, and was adopted at eight months old.
The 58-year-old claims that when he was a child, his adoptive grandmother, who worked for the late Queen Elizabeth II, told him on her deathbed that he was the son of Charles and Camilla.
The father of nine also claims that in the months before her birth, Charles was sent to Australia to study and Camilla disappeared from public view for around nine months.
With the King and Queen set to land in Australia on Friday, Dorante-Day shared a post on Facebook last month claiming there were “inconsistencies” between the facial features of Charles and his sons William and Harry.
“This comparison between William, myself, Charles and Harry demonstrates something very clear: there is no consistency,” he said, along with a photo of each of their faces side by side.
“The fact that the left side of my face matches Charles’s identically, while neither William’s nor Harry’s, raises the obvious question: who are Charles’ real children?
British-born Simon Charles Dorante-Day (pictured with wife Elvie) has made headlines around the world over claims he is the illegitimate son of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
He claims to be the King’s illegitimate son and says they have similar physical features.
‘That’s why my wife, Dr. Elvianna, and I believe that a four-way paternity test is the only way to solve this problem once and for all.
“It is necessary to expose the truth of the game that the Monarchy, the Government and the establishment have played for 58 years.”
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest there is any truth behind his claims.
Dorante-Day also took the opportunity to share a long interview he did with Seven News about his plight to prove that he is the son of the King.
Part of his claims is that there are different reports about the ages of Charles and Camilla when they met; Dorante-Day claims they met when they were teenagers, not in their early 20s.
‘I’m right, why hide the real date of when they met? Unless there’s a reason!’ said.
Dorante-Day, who lives with his wife Elvie in Queensland, has conducted several media interviews, explaining why he believes he is related to the King and Queen, including comparing physical attributes.
She also claims that her children share similar characteristics to Prince William and Kate’s children.
He had previously said he was committed to taking legal action in a bid to force the King to carry out a paternity test.
Dorante-Day (center) has gone viral by frequently posting images comparing photographs of him and his children with members of the British royal family, in this case the King himself (left).
Dorante-Day’s case alleges that King Charles and Queen Camilla began their close relationship in 1965, a year before his birth certificate says he was born.
However, it is widely said that Charles and Camilla met at a polo match in Windsor Great Park in 1970.
Mr Dorante-Day insists Camilla kept him until he was eight months old, hiding him from the world with the help of the royal family and protection officers, and claims he was told it was a condition of the adoption that their names be Simon and Charles was not traded.
The father of nine also referred to Queen Elizabeth II as his “grandmother” at the time of her death.
