The man who claims to be the illegitimate son of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla has opened up about his grief following Queen Elizabeth II's death. Last year, 56-year-old <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/man-who-claims-to-be-king-charles-son-plans-to-take-him-to-court-for-dna-testing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simon Charles Dorante-Day</a> hit headlines when he once again proclaimed to be the lost son of Charles and Camilla. The British-born engineer, who now resides in Australia after being adopted, has previously made allegations that his <a href="https://vt.co/news/man-who-believes-hes-prince-charles-and-camillas-lost-son-claims-he-had-his-appearance-altered">eye color was changed</a> and shared <a href="https://vt.co/news/uk/man-claiming-to-be-secret-son-of-prince-charles-and-camilla-shares-picture-evidence">side-by-side pictures</a> of his own children to highlight their royal resemblance. He also claims to have made several bids to the Royal Family to <a href="https://vt.co/news/uk/man-who-claims-to-be-king-charles-love-child-wrote-letter-to-late-queen-asking-for-dna-test">complete a DNA test</a>. Now, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Dorante-Day has once again spoken out about his alleged royal lineage, and the impact the monarch's death has had on him and his family.

"It's hard at the moment because every time I look at one of [my children] I see her," he said. "So that kind of brings the grief on." [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVWjqmyCPJw]] He also spoke about his own daughter's "sadness", as she saw the Queen as "possibly her great-grandmother." Elsewhere in the interview, Dorante-Day claimed to have written a letter to the late queen in an attempt to resolve his questions surrounding his parentage. He admitted: "[The Queen's] death brought up some different emotions, some anger." "Because she’s been across all this and she’s been aware of all this, knows that it’s been going on. And she let that happen. However by that same token, now I’m looking to the future and I’m thinking - 'Well I’m not dealing with her anymore, I’m dealing with him.' So there’s that element of it too," he added. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263105629" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/P9AGG3-1-e1619964953424-1024x655.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="655" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: James Pearce / Alamy]] Dorante-Day has also taken to Facebook to mourn the loss of Britain's longest-reigning monarch, writing: "Since finding out about the loss of my grandmother Aka Lilibet, I’ve been inundated with messages of condolence for the loss. Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, and concern. "As many of you have expressed my family and I are mourning not just the loss of Her Majesty but the loss of another opportunity to resolve this issue pleasantly, the right way. So, despite the lost opportunity of getting to personally hear her version of events, and the great sadness we all feel at her passing, on a personal and public scale it will be business as usual."

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." <h6>Featured image credit: Doug Peters / Alamy</h6>
