Australian man Simon Charles Dorante-Day, who claims to be the secret son of King Charles and Queen Camilla, has recently shared new photo evidence.
The photo has quickly garnered attention on social media, sparking discussions around Dorante-Day’s unusual claims of royal lineage.
Dorante-Day, who now lives in Australia, was born in the UK in 1966 and was adopted at a young age by a family with connections to royal service.
He claims his adoptive grandmother, who he alleges had been employed by Queen Elizabeth II, confided on her deathbed that he was the child of then-Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.
In recent years, he has used social media to bring attention to his story, gathering followers and support as he shares regular updates.
According to Dorante-Day, the timeline of his birth aligns with the years that Charles and Camilla were allegedly in a close relationship.
If his claims were true, Charles and Camilla would have been 17 and 18 years old at the time of his birth.
However, official records indicate that the two didn’t meet until around five years later, making his assertions controversial and largely unsubstantiated by traditional accounts of the royal timeline.
Despite these discrepancies, Dorante-Day has stayed resolute in his pursuit of acknowledgment and continues to call for a paternity test, which he hopes will confirm his identity as the secret child of Charles and Camilla.
This claim, though controversial, has captured the fascination of many, especially his social media followers, who frequently show their support.
Dorante-Day actively engages with his audience on his Facebook page, where he shares photos and personal updates, often sparking animated responses from followers.
Some are convinced of his royal connections, with one commenting, ‘I believe you, I’ve believed you for years,’ while another expressed, ‘The resemblance is outstanding. You would make a beautiful king.’
Many people believe his claim that his daughter’s appearance bears a striking similarity to Princess Charlotte’s, with some describing the likeness as ‘uncanny’ and others saying the two ‘could be sisters.’
And now, Dorante-Day appears to be ramping up his campaign.
He hopes to compel King Charles and Queen Camilla to submit to a paternity test to verify his claims once and for all.
Together with his wife, he is said to be preparing for an impending legal challenge, though he has chosen to remain discreet about the specific actions he intends to pursue.
In an interview with 7News, he stated: “What [legal action] am I going to do this time? Well, I’d be a very silly person that when he comes into the same jurisdiction as me not to do something. But I think I’d be even sillier to let that cat out of the bag right now.”
As he continues to build his case, Dorante-Day frequently posts comparison photos between himself and the royals – and his latest may be the most convincing yet.
One person pens: “Now I am convinced! I thought you were Prince William!”
“Got a look of Prince Andrew in that photo Simon also a look of Prince William. I really do hope you get to the bottom of your heritage…you are owed recognition,” another agrees.
A third adds: “This picture YOU and William DEFINITELY look similar! Without a doubt! I have never seen this picture before. Wow!”
