King Charles' alleged love child is threatening to put his life on the big screen.

Simon Dorante-Day - who claims that he is the illegitimate son of the King and his Queen Consort Camilla - says he has been "inundated" by filmmakers wanting to turn his story into a movie or TV show.

Now in his fifties, Dorante-Day has been claiming to be the King's son since the 1990s, and frequently takes to Facebook to share "evidence" that they are relatives.

Born in the UK, the alleged "Prince Simon" was adopted at eight months old by a couple whose parents worked for the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip.

According to Dorante-Day, he grew up being told by his parents that he was the son of Charles and Camilla. His theory is that his supposed father - then just 17 years old - conceived him out of wedlock in 1965.

Although the Royal family has never responded to Dorante-Day's claims, he has never given up on having his identity confirmed. Now, in an interview with 7News, he claims he may have a way of forcing the King or Queen Consort into a DNA Test.

Speaking to the outlet, he explained that multiple production companies have approached him. "I’ve been inundated in recent weeks with many documentary filmmakers and filmmaking companies keen to share my story," he said, adding that he is "considering their offers."

The 56-year-old went on to say that he is planning to approach Netflix to produce his story, which he hopes will force the Palace to address his claims.

"Ultimately, I would like to see my story on Netflix, or a similar streaming platform and will approach them about doing so. I am already speaking on one person, who I trust and is happy to act on my behalf," Dorante-Day continued.

He went on to say that while he is still taking legal action against the King, he is optimistic that getting his story on the big screen could force him to take notice.

"I’m taking my case through the proper legal channels, but I know that sharing my story and getting as many people aware of my claims as possible is going to be key to having Charles and Camilla address my claims," he said, adding: "I want a DNA test from both of them, as ordered through proper legal means. If sharing my story on Netflix or to a greater TV audience will help do that, then I say let’s do it."
