A British engineer who settled in Australia after being adopted believes he is the love child of Prince Charles and Camilla. He is heading to the country’s High Court to try to force the heir to the throne and his wife to take a DNA test.
Simon Dorante-Day, 53, admitted that court clerks laughed when he first filed his papers. Despite his claim being thrown out three times, he is refusing to give up his 40-year search for the truth about his birth parents.
He thinks the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry will have talked about his parentage at this month’s Sandringham summit. They discussed Harry and Meghan’s “Megxit” deal. Last year, he upset people by saying Princess Diana’s death in Paris in August 1997 was because she was going to go public with it.
Simon says his adoptive grandparents, Winifred and Ernest, worked as cooks and gardeners for the Queen and Prince Philip and told him he was Charles and Camilla’s child.
Mr. Dorante was born in Gosport, Hampshire, in April 1966 and was adopted by Winifred and Ernest’s Karen and David Day when he was 18 months old.
If his claims were valid, he would have been conceived in 1965 when Charles was 17 and Camilla was 18. His Windsor-like cheekbones, teeth, and “Camilla-style hair” prove he’s telling the truth.
Simon Dorante-Day, who lives in Queensland, has said that he was put up for adoption by Camilla Shand, who was 18 at the time. His adoptive grandparents, who had worked for the royal family, arranged this.
The 53-year-old filed papers to the High Court just before Christmas, claiming his story is the most explosive thing to happen to the palace.
But they were sent to a judge in Sydney to review the case.
Mr. Dorante-Day’s new case requires a mediation session and a “Statement of Paternity.”
He says Prince Charles, Camilla, and the Queen have hidden the truth for years.
The Queensland engineer has three other cases in court. He says he was unfairly dismissed.
He also shows photos of himself with members of the Royal Family, which he says look alike.
