- Mr Dorante-Day says he was adopted and grandparents were ex-royal courtiers
- The engineer, who lives in Australia, wants DNA test hoping to prove his heritage

An Australian man who claims he is the lovechild of Charles and Camilla says he wants Netflix to make a story about his secret upbringing.
Simon Charles Dorante-Day says he has been approached by ‘leading’ documentary makers in the UK and US about his claims – which he says come from years of research.
The 56-year-old, who lives in Queensland, Australia, was born in Gosport, on the south coast of England, in 1966, and was adopted by a local couple.
The father-of-nine claims his adoptive grandparents, both of whom had worked in the royal household, told him he was the child of the now King and Queen Consort.
He says his research shows the pair met in 1965, a year before his birth, and kept news of Camilla’s pregnancy a secret with the help of the royal household.
However his claims are disputed, because Charles and Camilla are widely reported to have met at a polo match in Windsor Great Park in 1970.
Mr Dorante-Day has for years spoken of his desire for the royals submit to a DNA test to prove his genetic heritage.
He is now hoping streaming giant Netflix will tell his story in a documentary – a move he believes could put pressure on Buckingham Palace to address his claims.
Speaking to Australia’s 7News about his desire to work with Netflix, makers of hit royal drama The Crown, he said: ‘I’ve been inundated in recent weeks with many documentary filmmakers and filmmaking companies keen to share my story.

What is Simon Charles Dorante-Day’s claim that he is the son of Charles and Camilla?
Simon Charles Dorante-Day was born in Gosport, near Portsmouth, on April 5, 1966.
He was adopted at eight months old before his family later settled in Australia.
Both of Mr Dorante-Day’s adoptive grandparents had worked for the Queen and Prince Philip and he claims his adoptive grandmother told him he was the son of Charles and Camilla.
Mr Dorante-Day alleges King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla began their close relationship in 1965, a year before his birth certificate says he was born.
He claims that Queen Consort Camilla was absent from the British social scene and King Charles was sent on a trip to Australia nine months before he was born.
Mr Dorante-Day has frequently put pictures of himself and family members next to those of the Windsor family to show the resemblance.
He also believes inconsistencies on his birth certificate and his name also prove he is of royal blood.
But his timeline of events contradicts official records that say the new King and Camilla met each other five years after Mr Dorante-Day’s birth.
Mr Dorante-Day claimed his research suggests Charles and Camilla first became close in 1965, meeting at Winston Churchill’s funeral in January of that year.
However, Charles and Camilla are widely reported to have met at a polo match in Windsor Great Park in 1970.
‘I know that sharing my story and getting as many people aware of my claims as possible is going to be key to having Charles and Camilla address my claims.
Mr Dorante-Day, who says he is planning a trip to the UK, claims he is ‘in talks’ with at least one person in regards to his story.
And he says his ultimate goal is to get a DNA test from Charles and Camilla through ‘proper legal means’.
He told 7News: ‘I’m looking forward to going back to the UK and really ramping up my quest for answers.
‘I’ve even got radio interviews lined up in Glasgow, Manchester, Dublin, and Portsmouth when I finally get over there.’

However, Charles and Camilla are widely reported to have met at a polo match in Windsor Great Park in 1970.
Legend has it that she introduced herself with the line: ‘You know, sir, my great-grandmother was the mistress of your great-great-grandfather – so how about it?’ – a reference to Edward VII and his mistress, Alice Keppel.
Mr Dorante-Day has gone viral by frequently posting images comparing photos of himself and his children alongside members of the British royal family – in this case the King himself
Mr Dorante-Day believes King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla are his biological parents after he was adopted at eight-months old
She eventually married Charles in 2005, 10 years after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles in 1995.
Mr Dorante-Day has for years spoken of his desire for the royals submit to a DNA test to prove his genetic heritage and has been seeking legal advice to further his claims.
He began pursuing a legal path after a letter penned to the Queen speaking of his plight was not dignified with a response.
Last month, Mr Dorante-Day shared a tribute to the Queen, his supposed grandmother, following her death.
‘Like everyone on the planet it would be hard not to be affected and saddened by her passing,’ he wrote.
‘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.’
Mr Dorante-Day said the death of the monarch also marked the loss of him ‘pleasantly’ being able to get to the bottom of his biological heritage after she never responded to a letter he wrote to her.
However, he vowed to continue his efforts to try and determine conclusively that the new sovereign and his wife are his true parents.
‘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,’ he said.
‘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.’
The father-of-nine said he feels the Queen is now ‘free’ to do what she wishes in the afterlife without any judgement ‘like she had her entire reign’ and that she has now been ‘reunited with her greatest love and closest friend’, the late Duke of Edinburgh.

He said that he does not think she would want anyone to feel sad for her, and instead ‘she would rather we all celebrate and remember her for what she stood for and the changes that she was able to make during her reign’.
As they mourn, Mr Dorante-Day, whose wife Elvianna and children are Indigenous Australians, said his family would be partaking in sacred Aboriginal cultural practices.
‘Together we are all entering a period of what First Nations Australians would define as ‘Sorry Business’ as we all experience this loss!’ he said.
‘No matter what your feelings, political alignments, religious belief, or convictions – she has been a part of all of our lives for a lifetime. Elizabeth touched each and every one of us.’
‘Dr. Elvianna, the family, and I would appreciate people’s understanding and respect that we too are experiencing Sorry Business, for our own reasons, in our own way.
‘Rest in peace Aka, you are in God’s hands now, I know in me I will always carry a piece of you.’
