Jordan Adlard Rogers, 31, confirmed that Charles Rogers was his father through a DNA test. The hard fight to get recognition.

The life of Jordan Adlard Rogers, 31, took a 180 degree turn when he confirmed what he suspected so much: he was the illegitimate son of an English lord. His father, Charles Rogers, died without recognizing him. But after a tough legal battle, he managed to pbad a DNA test and check that the blood had joined them. Today, the young Briton has inherited a luxurious castle worth 50 million pounds sterling and will stop working.

After the big news, Jordan packed up his belongings and moved into the property located in the National Trust Park, east of Porthleven. Having no brothers or other direct relatives of the aristocrat's family, he is the only one able to enjoy the fortune left by his father.

Jordan suspected that Charles was his father at the age of barely eight. But as long as the lord was still alive, he categorically refused to submit to any DNA studies. He insisted that it was a lie. He also did not answer the many letters the boy sent him.

Until the young man learned that the aristocrat had died in a car accident. After overcoming several bureaucratic hurdles, he was able to crosscut his DNA with the remains. And so it was that he learned that his suspicions were a reality.

"People say that I am lucky, but I would change anything to be able to go back in time and that Charles knew that I was his son." Perhaps he would have taken another path, "he said. he said in dialogue with The Mirror, already installed in the castle.

With a fortune deposited in the bank, Jordan badured that he no longer needed to work. But he will spend his time running a non-profit organization to help the community. "I will not forget my origins," he said.
