The man claiming to be Prince Charles and Camilla’s secret son is interested in claiming an inheritance from the death of Prince Phillip, some analysts believe.
Simon Charles Dorante-Day, 55, appeared yesterday on This Morning from Brisbane , strongly expressing his conviction that he is the child of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker. He sensationally claimed that his eyes and teeth were changed by the couple to cover-up his identity, but Moorfield eye specialist have said they are not aware of the process that changes eyes and teeth in the manner claimed by Mr.Day.
Mr. Dorante Day is believed to be after a phenomenally huge inheritance which he thinks may accrue to him following the death of Prince Phillip, but Mr Day has so far made no reference to any push for inheritance claims. Almost all the descendants of Prince Phillip are likely to benefit from his will, but biological grandson’s are expected to be high on the list.
However, the man who has no other known biological parents on record says he is not after money, but is fed up of going round Australia hiding a secret which he says ”is not our secret”.
Mr Day says he first went public with his belief Prince Charles and Camilla were his parents in 2005. He insists his conviction arises from 10 years of research.
The troubled man also claims he was once blocked from travelling into the UK, in order to silence him, and eventually received an apology from the Metropolitan Police for unjustified treatment.
Prince William has always been known to be the eldest son of Prince Charles, also next in line to the thrown after his father. Mr Dorante’s sudden appearance could possibly throw a spanner in the works if his claim ever gets to be validated through a process Prince Charles cannot be legally compelled to undertake.
Yvonne Thompson, a keen low key analyst of all things royal told The Eye Of Media.Com: ”this man’s claims are incredible, and some of the resemblances between his children and the royal family in the photographs he has published looks convincing.
‘We know he says he has he has faced obstacles in coming out with his story, and first came out in 2005. The big question is why has his story hit our television screens on the anniversary of Prince William and Kate Middleton? It seems a bit of an odd coincidence that the breakthrough of his story occurred on the very day the future king was celebrating his marriage to his wife, and weeks after Prince Phillip died. Surely, one must smell a rat here.
‘He sounds absolutely convinced and wants to prove his claim, but it does appear that recent events in the royal family have motivated this final push he has made”.
The Australian based man has called for a DNA test from Prince Charles to prove he is his biological son, but Prince Charles does not have to pay any attention to him or his requests.
Prince Phillip has definitely left a substantial fortune for his family, but the full scale of the inheritance from his death is unknown.
Some estimates believe the inheritance may be as much as £30 million, though the £10 million mark is believed to be closer to the mark.
Philip’s wealth accumulated from his career in the navy as well as working in the family, but the bulk of his wealth was made up of property and valuable items.
A psychologist and analyst who insisted on anonymity, told the Eye Of Media.Com: ”There is a high chance this guy is after some sort of inheritance following the death of Prince Phillip. He will be expected to be a beneficiary to some major degree, if he is directly from the lineage of Prince Phillip, and the the son of Prince Charles, he will no doubt want his big claim”.
‘Mr. Dorante could even want to lay a claim to being the future king. There are many grounds for suspicion, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he is lying. He has called for a DNA test, but the royal family does not have to oblige. Simon has even filed papers to the High Court in a bid to force the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall to take a DNA test’.
The engineer claims his adoptive grandparents Winifred and Ernest worked as a cook and gardener for the Queen and Prince Philip and told him “many times” he was Charles and Camilla’s child.
There is no law obligating them to take a DNA, otherwise they would have to take one every time a biological claim to royalty was made”.
Suspect
Business Coach and researcher Hortensia Daniels said: ” this has to be seen potentially opportunist because of the timing of the major revelation, and all the things he has to gain from the claim. It is a hot potato of a story because it suggests that dirt has hidden under the carpet. However, this is not evidence he is the child of Charles and Camilla, and there are a number of cases of striking resemblance of people who have had no biological connection whatsoever.
Having said that, he does make quite a case, especially after publishing pictures of his young family in an attempt to show a resemblance between his grandchildren and Prince William.
The timing of the revelation is suspect to observing analysts, The televised revelation was made on the anniversary of Prince William and Kate Middleton, possibly tainting what was meant to be a great day.
The desperate call for a DNA test adds to the massive of the story, but its truth remains unverified.
Simon claims that striking similarities between his own children and senior royals, including the Queen and Princess Anne, prove he is related to the royal family. In his case, his relation to the royal family is more direct than others, if true. The royal family have not officially responded to his claim.
He was adopted at eight-months-old by Portsmouth couple Karen and David Day and one set of his adoptive grandparents worked at one of the Queen’s royal households.
“There was a grandfather clock to my right, I was playing on a coffee table with some toys and there was a gentleman dressed in a naval uniform to the right of me in front of the grandfather clock and I can quite clearly remember him saying, ‘Well, we’re b*****ed now!'”
Simon also said that he believes that the royals were so intent on keeping him a secret and that he might be recognised by his appearance that they had his teeth and eyes changed.
Simon believes that Camilla and Prince Charles are his biological parents.
“I don’t think that they had any choice but to do that,” he said. “But it was because of the gossip in Portsmouth around the time. In those times, blue and blue made blue. There was never any inquisition about that.
“So my oncologist will tell you that one of my lenses is perfectly round and one of them is oval shaped like a football – a rugby football. So this is why I have a vision problem.”
He continued: “So something was done to my eyes-”
Extraordinary
Phil expressed alarm about the claim, pointing out that that the Australian was making an “extraordinary claim” that the royals had tampered with his eyes when he was eight years old.
Phil contended the basis “Holly’s got blue eyes but she’s never made any claims on royal descent,” Phil argued, to show that genetic similarities do not necessarily prove genetic connection. The television host also revealed that the ITV daytime show had spoken to a specialist at Moorfield Eye Hospital who said they were unaware of the procedure Simon was referencing, adding that it would have been incredibly dangerous in the early 70s.
Phil pointed out that Simon had been conceived in 1965 – but that Charles and Camilla hadn’t met until 1970.
The claim will be the subject of further interest, but may well be no more than a drive for monetary gains and historical entitlements.
