Queen Camilla has spent decades in the royal sphere. However, for many years, she was an outcast, reviled by millions of royal followers once her affair with Charles became public.
Things have changed dramatically since Camilla became the royal family’s backbone, taking on enormous responsibilities after her husband, King Charles, was forced to step aside due to cancer treatment. Meanwhile, the king and queen may be facing a judicial struggle, since one guy claims to be their firstborn son.
An Australian man who claims to have been adopted when he was eight months old in Portsmouth, UK, claims Charles and Camilla are his parents. He has compared images and investigated his past, and now he intends to bring the royals to justice.
King Charles and Queen Camilla’s relationship dates back to 1972 when they first met at a polo match.
In the book Charles and Camilla, Portrait of a Love Affair, author Gyles Brandreth claims that Charles and Camilla were introduced by their mutual friend Lucia Santa Cruz, the daughter of the Chilean ambassador.
King Charles & Queen Camilla
The couple dated for a while but stopped when Charles left to serve in the Royal Navy. By the time he returned, Camilla was engaged to Andrew Parker Bowles.
Bowles and Camilla married in 1973, though Camilla maintained a close and friendly relationship with Charles. The now-king then started dating 19-year-old Diana Spencer in 1980.
When Diana was introduced to the Bowles couple, Camilla thought the young lady was “sweet and cute” and approved of her. At first, Diana and Camilla got along well. Soon, however, things grew uncomfortable.
“I met [Camilla] very early on. I was introduced to the circle, but I was a threat, I was a very young girl, but I was a threat,” Diana explained in the book Diana: In Her Own Words.
According to Prince Charles’ authorized biography, as quoted by Town & Country, Charles and Camilla’s affair started in 1986. Charles was still married to Princess Diana at that point. She found out about it – and confronted Camilla.
What transpired in December 1989 essentially revealed that they had been having an affair for years.
Australian man claims to be the firstborn son of Charles and Camilla in shocking claim
King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the other royal family members have had plenty on their hands in recent years. A whole new era began when Queen Elizabeth II passed away, and the feud with Harry and Meghan has drained them of energy.
However, one other very sensitive subject has followed them around for years. One Australian man claims that he is the firstborn son of Charles, and his mother is said to be Camilla.
For years, Simon Charles Dorante-Day claimed that he was the firstborn son of King Charles and Queen Camilla. He has stated that he was conceived in 1965—when Charles was 17 and Camilla was 18—which is long before their affair began.
While Dorante-Day’s claim has never been confirmed, he’s determined to settle the matter once and for all.
Who is Simon Charles Dorante-Day?
He was born on April 6, 1966, in Gosport, Portsmouth, in the UK, and when he was only eight months old, he was adopted by a couple, Karen and David Day, who lived nearby. He says his adoptive grandparents both worked for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in one of the royal households, and his grandmother had told him many times that he was the child of Charles and Camilla.
“She didn’t just hint at it, she told me outright,” Simon Charles Dorante-Day claimed.
Later, Simon says he found out through research that the now-king and queen had grown fond of each other in 1965. Dorante-Day claims it was the lead-up to his birth. Shortly after, Camilla disappeared from the social scene for nine months while King Charles was shipped off to Australia.
“Maybe you can come clean….”
The Australian grandfather is still certain of his royal pedigree, and when King Charles was crowned last year, he sent a lengthy statement on Facebook expressing his desire for the king and queen to recognize him as a family member.
Simon Charles Dorante-Day called Charles “weak” for failing to respond to any communication or recognizing him as his “firstborn Son.”
“On the eve of your coronation, when all that you have waited for and all that you’ve fought for has come to fruition, I hope that you are finally satisfied,” Simon wrote.
“I am disappointed that my issue couldn’t be resolved before you ascended to the throne, but I feel that in the fullness of time this will reflect more poorly on the Monarchy than it ever will on me.”
