Man who claims to be king Charles and Camilla’s Son drops DNA Bombshell

An Australian man who believes he is the secret son of King Charles III and Camilla has shared details of a wild plot to extract his DNA by a woman claiming to be Prince Philip’s illegitimate daughter.

Simon Dorante-Day has attracted headlines around the world with his claims, which he says are the result of decades of research.

My grandmother, who had worked for the Queen, told me outright that I was Camilla and Charles’ son many times,” he said.

Now in an exclusive interview with 7NEWS.com.au, Dorante-Day has told how he and his wife, Elvianna, were approached by a woman with an American accent at their Queensland home in the early hours of December 2.

The 57-year-old said they were woken by the sound of a knock at the door and opened the door to find the older woman and a man who claimed to be a private investigator, standing there.

This woman claimed that she was the secret illegitimate daughter of Prince Philip who lived in San Francisco,” Dorante-Day said.

“She explained that she had travelled from the US after hiring an investigator to track me down in Queensland. The whole purpose of her visit was to ask me for a sample of my DNA.

She wanted to compare it to hers, to basically prove that we were both related to the royal family.”

After reviewing the woman’s evidence and hearing her elaborate story, Dorante-Day said he was convinced it was a scam — as well as an “illegal” attempt to get his DNA.

“This woman had a lot of so-called proof to back up her claims, but the whole thing just seemed really fishy,” he said.

“She said that she always knew she was adopted, but that her adoptive parents were against her tracking down her biological mother and father. It was only when they died that she was able to finally investigate.

She said that she obtained her birth certificate and adoption papers and found that they were both doctored — the hospital that was listed didn’t exist, other details were fabricated. These are points that mirror my own experiences, so I was interested.

“So she said she turned to the FBI for help in tracking down her real birth certificate and they eventually handed her papers which showed she was the daughter of Prince Philip.

“She said they then suggested that she track me down in Australia, that they’d seen my story on YouTube and that she could maybe help my case.

“Of course my bulls*** meter is flying off the handle at this point. I know how hard it is to get any government authority to address these sorts of issues — I hardly think the Federal Bereau of Investigation would just offer up the fact that she was the daughter of the Queen’s late husband.

It was just all weird.

Dorante-Day said the woman showed him a birth certificate and adoption papers to support what she was saying, but he was still dubious.

“They could’ve easily been doctored, 100 per cent,” he said. “And she wouldn’t leave copies with me to look into and investigate, which made me even more suspicious.”

The Queensland father and grandfather said it wasn’t long until the woman gave away her real reason for wanting his DNA: money.

“She said that she’s already been given a large payout from the royal family after she proved she was the daughter of Prince Philip,” he said. “Claimed she’d flown to Australia first class and had lots of money.

“And she felt that if she was able to compare my DNA to her DNA, and prove we were both descendants of the royal family, then we could ask them for even more money.

“Elvianna and I told her what we’ve said to everyone from day one — this isn’t about money for us, at all. This is about us finding out who my birth parents are and protecting my family. We have never wanted money.”

After saying goodbye to the pair, Dorante-Day said he and his wife were left reeling.

“At the end of the day, this was an illegal attempt to procure my DNA,” he said. “We don’t know if this person, these people, were scammers or if they were maybe investigators.
