Simon Charles Dorante-Day, a 58-year-old Australian, claims to be the illegitimate son of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Demands a DNA Test
Born in Britain when Camilla was 18 and Charles 17, Dorante-Day believes he was secretly adopted by royal palace staff shortly after birth.
As the British royals visit Australia this week, security forces are on high alert to protect them from the man who insists on his royal lineage and has demanded a DNA test for years.
Dorante-Day claims he is the rightful heir to the British throne and should replace Prince William as the Prince of Wales.
However, after receiving warnings that he might attempt to "take matters into his own hands," he has now been placed on a security watchlist.
According to El Economista the monarch’s security team is closely monitoring Dorante-Day, alongside nearly 20 other individuals of concern, while Charles and Camilla are in Australia.
It Would be Foolish Not to Act
Dorante-Day was adopted at eight months old in Portsmouth in 1966.
He alleges that his adoptive grandmother, who worked for the Queen, told him about the adoption and helped orchestrate his placement away from his "true family."
His ongoing frustration over the royal family's refusal to acknowledge his claims has grown, and with Charles and Camilla in Sydney this weekend, he has hinted at making a move.
“It would be foolish not to act when the King is in the same jurisdiction as me,” Dorante-Day said in May, though he avoided revealing specific plans.
Despite his claims, royal experts point out that Charles and Camilla reportedly met for the first time in 1970, five years after Dorante-Day's birth. However, he insists they began their relationship in 1965, contradicting the official timeline.
Dorante-Day has garnered attention on social media, with 29,000 Facebook followers supporting his quest to prove his royal connection.
As King Charles and Queen Camilla spend the weekend in New South Wales before traveling to Canberra on Monday, security remains vigilant to prevent any direct encounter between Dorante-Day and the royals.
