The man who claims he is the first-born son of King Charles III and Queen Camilla has penned them both a letter urging them to ‘come clean’, to mark the coronation.
Simon Dorante-Day, 57, has hit headlines over the years for his repeated claims that he is the secret love child of Charles and Camilla and that he was given shortly after to avoid a scandal.
Dorante-Day was born in Portsmouth in 1966 and was adopted by a couple named Karen and David Day. His adoptive grandparents, Winifred and Ernest Bowlden, had both worked for the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

Dorante-Day, who now lives in Queensland in Australia, claims that his grandmother ‘outright’ told him that his biological parents were Charles and Camilla.
In a letter addressed to the King and Queen, Dorante-Day said: “Maybe now that you’ve achieved your goal you can look in the mirror and remember that it cost and is still costing others for you to succeed.
“Of course, 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.

“However, now that you are King and Queen Consort, I ask that you both take a moment to reflect and urge you to resolve my issue once and for all. I know the truth, I remember what you did, where you interfered in my life for your own agenda, and I will not stop seeking justice.
“Now you are King, it doesn't make me any less your son. When I wrote to you privately did you stop? When I wrote to you publicly did you stop? When you made Camilla non-negotiable did you stop? So, is it right to expect me to stop just because of who you now are?
“I won’t, I need answers to what has happened throughout my life, and I know you have the key to that door. Besides, now your ascension only endangers us more.

“So, now your time has come. I hope you are in a better position to stand-up and do the right thing. Not just for me and my family but for all. Maybe now you can both come clean and admit when you first met because the truth is you haven’t before.
"As monarch and head of the church your behaviour is supposed to be exemplary and above the Law. Currently, the deception, lies, and evasion does not testify that you are."
He also branded the coronation a ‘waste of money’ and said he won’t be watching the big event.
Speaking to 7News, he said: “As an English person, like up until I was a teenager, I would have loved this - I would have been into all the pomp and ceremony. But from an Australian perspective, I couldn’t give a toss.

“This is just a waste of money. We could be putting this money towards hospitals, houses, you know. All the homeless people in England are still going to be saying this is a waste of money. And I totally agree.”
