A man who claims to be the illegitimate child of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla has shared new photos that he says prove Camilla is his mom.
Australian grandfather Simon Dorante-Day has been in and out of the headlines in recent years with his bombshell claim that King Charles is his father. So intent is Dorante-Day on establishing that he's the 73-year-old monarch's eldest son, that he's campaigned for DNA testing since 2018, as previously reported.
The 56-year-old often posts side-by-side images of himself and members of the Royal Family on his Facebook page, with many of them supposedly bearing a striking resemblance.
According to Dorante-Day, who has conducted decades of research into his purported family, he was conceived by the then-Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles during a trip to Australia in 1965 (despite the pair being widely reported to have met five years later, in 1970). This would have made the future King 17, and Camilla 18.
One of his followers created an image of him alongside Camilla and her son, Thomas Parker-Bowles, which he shared to his Facebook account on Saturday (November 5).
Speaking to 7 News Australia, Dorante-Day said of the comparison: "I think the comparisons between myself and Tom Parker Bowles are some of the most interesting."
"I believe that we share the same mother, Camilla. And while we have different fathers, you can see so many similarities - they've always been very obvious to myself and many of my supporters. There are also many similarities between myself and Camilla's brother, Mark Shand. That's another one that often stops people in their tracks," he added.
One person even commented on the image with Camilla that it was "undeniable proof" that she is Dorante-Day's mother.
The father-of-nine had previously told the outlet that he had spoken to legal professionals about bringing a paternity case against the newest King of England. "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 said.
Dorante-Day wants people to know that his long-held belief that he is the son of Britain's monarch is based on "a lot of research," telling 7 News: "It's important for people to know that my belief that Charles and Camilla are my parents isn't based on photos."
"I have a lot of research that backs up my claims, a lot of evidence. And I want people to remember that my case has spent a long time in the courts, trying to find a resolution, and my legal battles are still continuing," he revealed.
