A man claims to have "proof' that he is Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles's secret son.
Grandad Simon Dorante-Day was born in 1966 in the UK and was conceived in 1965 when Prince Charles would have been 17 and the now Duchess of Cornwall would have been 18.
The 55-year-old, who was given up for adoption as a baby, now believes that a photograph comparing his son Liam to the Queen when she was in her 20s is evidence that he is the son of the future king.
He said he was "blown away" by the resemblance between his son and the Queen in the comparison.
Dorante-Day believes that the strong royal ties of his adoptive family are proof of his linage, as his adoptive grandparents, Winifred and Ernest, were employed by the Queen and Prince Philip in the 60s.
He decided to go public with his story after Charles and Camilla failed to reply to the letters he sent them.
The 55-year-old is now attempting to file papers that will force the royal couple to take a DNA test, but this has so far been unsuccessful.
The Daily Mail reports that after three previous failed attempts to prove his story, he is going to Australia's high court in a bid to prove his royal lineage.
In an interview with 7 News, he said: "My grandmother, who had worked for the Queen, told me outright that I was Camilla and Charles' son many times.
"We owe it to our children for them to have answers. We have some exciting new legal paths that we're looking at to uncover the truth.
"At the end of the day, I'm just a man who's looking for his biological parents – and every road takes me to Charles and Camilla."
He explained that the "truth" would have never became known to him if Princess Diana had not passed away in 1997.
"We believe that Diana knew of my existence and that she had put the pieces together," he told 7 News.
"I think Diana was at a point where she was finding out answers about her life, how she was wronged, and she was going to go public with it."

A man who claims to be the illegitimate son of Prince Charles has shared a photograph which he says proves his blue blood.
According to News.com.au, 55-year-old Simon Dorante-Day, who was born in the United Kingdom but who now lives in Queensland in Australia, alleges that he is the eldest son of the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker-Bowles.
He believes he was conceived in secret back in 1966, when Prince Charles was 17 and Parker-Bowles was 18 - prior to Charles' infamous marriage to Princess Diana in 1981.
Dorante-Day was adopted by a family from Portsmouth, England - a family who had links to the British Royal Family. Growing up, he was then allegedly told by his adoptive grandmother that he was Charles' son.
In an interview with 7News, Dorante-Day said: "My grandmother, who had worked for the Queen, told me outright that I was Camilla and Charles’ son many times."
Although the British Royal Family has not deigned to respond officially to these claims, Dorante-Day now boasts a team of legal aides, and a number of followers on social media, who support his claims of legitimacy.
As proof of this, Dorante-Day shared a side-by-side image made by one of his supporters of his teenage son Liam next to a black-and-white picture of The Queen in her twenties, all in an effort to show the similarity in facial characteristics between them.
He captioned the post:
"One of the followers [on] the page spent a fair amount of time today contrasting and comparing some Images. Wow. Thank you so much - now I'm going from seeing young Charles in Liam to her Maj [...] Too good not to share. [sic]"
In a later interview with 7News, Dorante Day spoke about the picture, stating: "We were blown away when we first saw it."
He continued: "[My wife] and I feel like we see many members of the royal family in our children, but this one was an eye-opener.
"One of my supporters did the comparison and sent it to me and I was speechless. A lot of people are reacting to it because it’s hard to deny the similarity."
In a 2019 interview with New Idea, Dorante-Day claimed that Princess Diana knew about him and the alleged circumstances of his birth, stating: "We believe that Diana knew of my existence and that she had put the pieces together.
"I think Diana was at a point where she was finding out answers about her life, how she was wronged, and she was going to go public with it."

A man who believes he's the lost son of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles has shared a series of photos to prove he's related to the Royal Family.
According to News.com.au, Simon Dorante-Day - a British-born engineer who now resides in Australia after being adopted - thinks he's the secret long lost son of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.
The 55-year-old has recently shared unseen snaps of some members of the monarchy as he revealed the striking similarities between himself and the Royal Family.
Check out Simon's most recent argument in the video below:
He believes he was conceived in secret back in 1966, when Prince Charles was 17 and Parker-Bowles was 18 - prior to Charles' infamous marriage to Princess Diana in 1981.
Simon has now appeared on TODAY Extra, where he discussed the newly shared pictures and the uncanny resemblance in them and revealed how many times he's tried to get into contact with the royals.
"I've written to the palace on numerous occasions, the most recent communication with them was in 2012/2014 where D.I. Smith from the Royal Security team got a communication from me to Prince Charles' private secretary - for which I have a receipt.
"You can't get any closer than that, this is the problem."
Simon recently shared an image of himself alongside Mark Shand - Camilla’s late brother:
Appearing on Sunrise earlier this week, Simon urged those with knowledge of his potential royal bloodline "to come forward and come clean".
He said: "People seem to think I'm getting a big name and money out of this, I'm not getting anything out of this, this is costing me to do this.
"We're forced to do this because we’re tired of moving around Australia hiding this secret that's not our secret."
Dorante-Day was adopted by a family from Portsmouth, England - a family who had links to the British Royal Family. Growing up, he was then allegedly told by his adoptive grandmother that he was Charles' son.
Last week, Dorante-Day shared a side-by-side image made by one of his supporters of his teenage son Liam next to a black-and-white picture of The Queen in her twenties, all in an effort to show the similarity in facial characteristics between them.
Adding more fuel to the fire, he has now shared even more unseen snaps of the Royal Family (many of which can be seen in the video above), including a picture of his daughter Meriam, who seemingly bears an uncanny resemblance to Princess Anne - Prince Charles' sister.
More images show his son Liam in a side-by-side to the Queen.
The new pictures also show him alongside Prince William, Prince Philip, and Prince Andrew.
However one of the more obvious comparisons is that of the Queensland man next to Mark Shand - Camilla’s late brother.
Although the British Royal Family has not deigned to respond officially to these claims, Dorante-Day now boasts a team of legal aides, and a number of followers on social media, who support his claims of legitimacy.

A man who claims he is Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles' long-lost son has shared even more "undeniable proof" that he's related to the Royals.
Simon Dorante-Day, 55, who was born in the UK but now lives in Queensland, Australia, has been claiming for years that he is the illegitimate son of the Prince of Wales and Camilla.
In the last few months, Simon has consistently shared photographic "proof" of his royal roots and has even spoken to the media about his outlandish claims.
He says he was conceived in 1966 when Prince Charles was just 17 and Camilla was 18 - long before the future King's eventual marriage to the late Princess Diana in 1981.
Now, the supposed royal has shared another side-by-side photo featuring Prince Charles, Camilla, and himself - all in their younger days - as "evidence" that he shares their DNA.
A number of people took to the comments of the post to agree that there is indeed a resemblance between himself and his apparent parents.
One person wrote: "You look so much like Duchess of Cornwall, and your son got Queen's look and Prince Charles' ears. I pray to God may you find answers to your search as quickly as possible. Every adopted child deserves to know his/her origin. Stay steadfast, friend."
Another agreed: "My goodness, and now I notice Charles' teeth and the extended vertical dimples on your cheeks either side of your mouth, and your bottom lip is suspiciously like Camilla's. And so it goes on..."
While a third added: "You like Camilla. But I seriously doubt you will ever get the DNA test done. The royal family will stonewall and never allow for it to happen. This may change once William is king."
A couple more commenters referred to the resemblance as "undeniable".
Simon previously shared a side-by-side photo of himself when he was a boy along with an image of his alleged grandmother, the Queen who is pictured with Prince Charles.
In another image, he compared a black-and-white photo of the Queen as a young woman with his teenage son Liam.
In February, he posted a snap of himself along with a photo of the late Prince Philip to showcase their purportedly striking similarities.
In an interview with 7NEWS.com.au, Simon said he often comes across new comparison photos that "stop me in my tracks, even to this day."
He told the outlet: "All the royal fans and supporters who send them to me, they’re amazing. And I really think it’s like an Agatha Christie novel for them, where they’re looking for clues and searching for answers."
The British-born Aussie continued: "There are so many people invested in my story now and helping me, it’s really amazing. But at the end of the day, it would be really nice to wake up in the morning and not have to look for evidence and keep defending it."
Simon was adopted by a family from Portsmouth, England - who he says had links to the Royal Family. He was supposedly informed by his adoptive grandmother that he was Prince Charles' son.

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.

A man who claims that he's the illegitimate son of King Charles and Queen Camilla has shared photos of his own children as proof of his wild claim.
For the last few years now, Simon Dorante-Day - who now goes by Simon Charles Dorante-Day - has made headlines after claiming to be the eldest son of the King and Queen.
Originally from the United Kingdom, Dorante-Day now lives in Queensland, Australia, working as an engineer.
Adopted at eight months old in 1966 in Portsmouth, Dorante-Day asserts he may be the biological child of Charles and Camilla - who were 17 and 18 years old, respectively, around the time of his birth.
He has previously made allegations that his eye color was changed in order to alter his appearance from the reigning King, and also claims to have made several bids to the Royal Family to complete a DNA test.
In a previous interview with 7 News, Dorante-Day revealed why he is so eager for the DNA test, saying: "My grandmother, who had worked for the Queen, told me outright that I was Camilla and Charles' son many times. We owe it to our children for them to have answers. We have some exciting new legal paths that we're looking at to uncover the truth.
"At the end of the day, I'm just a man who's looking for his biological parents – and every road takes me to Charles and Camilla."
In an effort to strengthen his claim and gather supporters, Dorante-Day frequently shares photos of himself and his family on Facebook, along with images of the Royals.
"One good thing about them becoming King and Queen is that we get a lot more images to compare with, from many different angles," he wrote in one post, per Marca. "The more I see, the more they look like thee."
In one post, he shared a photo of his daughter, Meriam, spliced with a photo of King Charles' granddaughter, Princess Charlotte. "I know many of you often share comments on the likeness between Meriam and Charlotte," he wrote alongside the images. "I received this image today from one of the fans in the page."
And his followers certainly agreed that the two young girls shared a striking likeness, with one person writing: "That gave me goosebumps. Everyone had been saying this. But I hadn't looked at this comparison."
A second added: "No doubt in my mind. These two little girls are definitely related. There is just so much resemblance between here, it's uncanny!"
"Look at Meriam's eyes and then look around Charlotte's eyes exactly the same shape," a third commented.
One person even created another collage to share with Doronte-Day:
In another post, Doronte-Day shared a photo of his son, Liam. alongside the late Queen Elizabeth II. "An interesting comparison," he captioned the post.
"I like to draw faces.... These pictures have the same brows, nose, mouth and lines under smiling cheeks," one person replied.
A second added: "For sure you would have to be blind or bloody ignorant to not believe they are related."
Speaking about the comparisons to the Royal Family that he and his family gets, Dorante-Day told 7News: "All the royal fans and supporters who send them to me, they’re amazing. And I really think it’s like an Agatha Christie novel for them, where they’re looking for clues and searching for answers.
"There are so many people invested in my story now and helping me, it’s really amazing. But at the end of the day, it would be really nice to wake up in the morning and not have to look for evidence and keep defending it."
In a new update to his quest, Dorante-Day has shared a four-way image of himself, King Charles, and Princes William and Harry.
In the lengthy post, he writes to his thousands of followers: "This comparison of William, Myself, Charles, and Harry demonstrates something very clearly, there is no consistency."
He continues: "The fact that the left side of my face identically matches Charles whilst neither William nor Harry’s does, raises the obvious question, just who are Charles’s real sons?"
Dorante-Day then revealed that he wants "a 4-way Paternity test" as he believes is it "the only way to resolve this issue once and for all."
"The lies and corruption must be uncovered for what they are, criminal activity," his post continues. "Awarding yourself and accepting a 50% pay rise doesn’t demonstrate much remorse for what has occurred. Nor does it demonstrate any intention to resolve this issue or change direction any time soon.
It's not just what happened to me as a Child, and what I remember from growing up in England, but it’s also what’s happened since to myself, my wife, and my children in Australia that supports our argument."
Dorante-Day once again called for King Charles and the monarchy to face judges in a court room, because adding: "Whenever I feel like giving it all away three things remind me to keep on track. Firstly, Winifred, my adopted Grandmothers words. Secondly, the memories I have and of that voice telling me of the 9 months hardship. Finally, my eyes, and the very real pain that has and still causes. We deserve answers!"
