A 58-year-old man from Australia who unyielding He is related to the royal family and believes there is a telltale sign that proves he is right.
For those who don’t know Simon Charles Dorante-Day, he has gone viral several times over the past decade after claiming he is the illegitimate child of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Apparently there are actually some pretty compelling reasons for Simon’s theory, starting with the dates surrounding his birth.

Simon was born in 1966 to parents living in England who later decided to give him up for adoption.
Fortunately, he was adopted by a loving couple who took him to Australia to raise him.
But only recently did one of his adoptive grandparents – reportedly a former servant to the late Queen Elizabeth – lift the veil of his obvious royal lineage.
According to Simon, who spoke to the Daily Mail about the shocking revelation, his grandmother revealed to him on her deathbed that he was closely related to Charles and Camilla.
The royal couple would have been about 17 years old when Simon was born.

Apparently, it is not just his grandmother’s claims that have led the Australian to believe that he has some very wealthy family members.
Rather, he believes that the British institution’s silence on the matter since he disclosed his allegations tells him everything he needs to know.
Speaking to 7NEWS.com.au, Simon noted: “I would like to point out that neither Charles and Camilla nor Buckingham Palace or the entire Royal Family have ever said that my allegations are not true.”
“They have never disputed what I believe and never told me I am wrong. And I think their silence speaks volumes.”
One of the biggest problems with Simon’s claims, however, is that his alleged “parents,” Charles and Camilla, did not meet until five years after his birth, according to official records.

The two later married other people – Camilla Andrew Parker-Bowles and Charles married the late Princess Diana – but their romance famously remained behind the scenes, even though they never had children together.
Despite this, Simon remains convinced that he bears a certain resemblance to the royal couple, who publicly rekindled their relationship in the early 2000s before marrying in 2005.
So much so that he even has a Facebook account dedicated solely to proving his origins and on which he regularly shares updates and photos with his supporters.
Recently, he even went so far as to share on social media a photo of his own granddaughter, who he says bears a striking resemblance to Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Charles’ son Prince William and Kate Middleton.

“Very very similar,” wrote one of his followers in the comments, before another added: “Very similar, both beautiful girls.”
Tyla has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
