A British-born engineer specialising in electronics and telecommunications, who immigrated to Australia after being adopted feels he is the love child of Prince Charles and Camilla. He is planning to apply for a court order to compel the heir apparent and his spouse to undergo a DNA test.
Simon Dorante-Day, 53, has admitted court clerks laughed when he first filed his papers and despite his breathtaking legal claim being thrown out three times already, he is refusing to give up ‘his 40-year search’ for the truth about his birth parents.
He believes that his parentage will have been discussed by the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry at this month’s Sandringham summit, where the terms of Harry and Meghan’s ‘Megxit’ deal were thrashed out. And last year, he caused upset having claimed Princess Diana’s death in Paris in August 1997 came after ‘she was going to go public with it’.
Simon claims his adoptive grandparents, Winifred and Ernest, worked for the Queen and Prince Philip as a cook and a gardener respectively and told him ‘many times’ that he was ‘Charles and Camilla’s child’.
He said previously: ‘I know it sounds unbelievable, but anything I say is checkable… I’m simply a man looking for my biological parents, and every road has led me back to Camilla and Charles’.
Mr. Dorante was adopted by Karen and David Day, the children of Winifred and Ernest, when he was eighteen months old. He was born in Gosport, Hampshire, in April 1966.
If his bizarre allegations are true, he would have had to have been conceived in 1965, when Charles was 17 and Camilla, was 18, and he claims his Windsor-like cheekbones and teeth, and ‘Camilla-style hair’, are compelling evidence his claims are true.
He even calls himself ‘Prince Simon’ on social media and his Facebook page is packed with posts where he matches his face from birth to today with Charles, Camilla and their children, with particular focus on Prince William and Tom Parker-Bowles.
The British national denies claims his story is ‘bonkers’ and ‘bogus’, including critics who point out that his eyes are brown but Charles and Camilla both have blue eyes.
However, two blue-eyed parents can have a brown-eyed child. Blue eye colour is recessive while brown eye colour is dominant, so, if the gene for brown eye colour is present in the parents’ DNA, then their child can have brown eyes.
One commentator who took him to task said: ‘Two people who have blue eyes cannot produce a brown-eyed person. How is that explained in your case, Simon?’
The 53-year-old responded: ‘That’s been explained publicly, Sue; it’s already out there—that’s why they had to tamper with my eyes—exactly the point’.
He also says he has compelling evidence proving his claim but said online: ‘As things are all part of the court case at the moment, I can’t discuss much further.’
Now residing in Queensland, Simon Mr Dorante-Day has expressed on many occasions his conviction that he was placed for adoption by 18-year-old Camilla Shand, a relationship that seems to have been arranged through his adoptive grandparents’ employment with the royal family.
Whether or not this is plausible. He ought to have the opportunity to ascertain whether Charles and Camilla are, in fact, his biological parents. After all, if it’s not true, then the DNA tests will show that they’re not and that will be the end of that!
I’m not sure what everyone is frightened about; even if it turns out that he is the son of Charles and Camilla, he would never be the legitimate successor to the throne because he was born out of wedlock. claiming that he would undoubtedly do better than the dull group we now have, and putting all the legalities aside. How insanely funny would it be if he did turn out to be their son?
