A man who has long claimed to be the illegitimate son of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, has finally shared the bombshell final letter he wrote to Queen Elizabeth II before she died.
Simon Dorante-Day, an Australian from the sunshine state of Queensland, has previously spoken to 7News Australia about his claims, stating that he believes he was conceived by the couple on a 1965 trip to Australia - despite it being widely reported that the now-spouses first met in 1970.
If Dorante-Day's allegations are true, this would have made Camilla 18 and a young Prince Charles merely 17.
The 56-year-old grandfather has even been in contact with several legal professionals about the legalities of bringing a paternity case against the King, telling 7News: "There has been a discussion in there between a judge and myself and his barrister about the legal standing of Charles, and whether the monarch is protected by the law or is above the law."
"And the answer to that was no - they told me that we don’t see any reason why he is," he added.
Per a previous report, the father-of-nine even said that he had sent a letter to Queen Elizabeth II, requesting that she demand her eldest son participate in DNA testing.
The contents of the letter, sent to the late Queen in November last year, have now finally been revealed, per an updated 7News report. "I've kept the contents of the letter confidential until now, but with her passing I think it's appropriate to share my last correspondence with her," Dorante-Day said.
"When she passed away, I was disappointed that she had died without responding to my message. That was my first thing - just sad, because that window of opportunity has closed," he added.
"I take the liberty of approaching you via the Governor’s Office however, given the position with which my family and I find ourselves, we feel this action is justified," he writes in the letter.
He adds that his appearance was altered during his childhood via a series of medical procedures.
"I can certainly understand, and to some degree forgive, actions that have been taken in the past in relation to my existence, but I cannot forget what has occurred," the letter continues.
"These actions I believe were undertaken to conceal my true identity."
He additionally noted that his adoptive grandparents had once worked for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and that they had repeatedly told their grandson that his parents were King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.
"Furthermore, over the years of residing with the Day family, my adopted grandparents Winifred and Earnest Bowlden often spoke about the time they worked for the Royal household. Then on my last visit to the United Kingdom in 1998, my adopted grandmother Winifred told me herself, that my birth parents were your son Charles and his wife Camilla," he revealed.
The letter concludes with a plea from Dorante-Day to the late Queen, asking for her assistance in resolving this alleged paternity issue.
"It would be naive of me to think you are not aware of my claims. Nor that you have not been following events to date. Subsequently, you will all be aware of the actions I have recently commenced and the level of attention this has already received," he writes.
"I am writing on behalf of my family and I to ask for your assistance in coming forward and resolving this issue and stopping this global assault. May God give you the strength to come forward."
