A man claims to be the secret son of Charles and Camilla and "has pictures to prove it"

An Australian has strangely claimed to be the son of Prince Charles and Camilla – because he thinks he looks like the couple.

Simon Dorante-Day, 52, states that he was born in adolescence, but that he was put on adoption.

In a series of bizarre statements, he also alleged that Princess Diana was about to reveal her identity before her death in 1997.

Clarence House declined to comment on Mr. Dorante-Day's claims.

But in an interview with Australian magazine New Idea, he said, "We think Diana knew about my existence and that she had put the pieces together.

"I think Diana was about to look for answers about her life, about the harm she was done, and that she was going to talk about it publicly."

Simon claims that his adoptive grandmother, Winifred – who was working for the Queen and Prince Philip with her husband Ernest – would have told him "many times" that he was "the child of Charles and Camilla".

"She did not just allude to that, she told me bluntly," he said.

Simon, born in Gosport (Hampshire) on April 5, 1966, was adopted at the age of 18 months by a couple named Karen and David Day.

It should have been designed in 1965, when Charles was 17 years old and Camilla, 18 years old.

He continued: "Someone said that the structure of my facial bone was the same as that of His Maj.

"Hair Camilla do not miss."

Simon, who calls himself "Prince Simon" on social networks, would now like a DNA test "to end his 40 years of research".

He often shares updates on his Facebook page.

One of his friends recently wrote, "You look a lot like Camilla's brother, and I wish you every success in your case."

Another posted: "Simon, there is no doubt that you are of royal blood.Why can not they just go out and admit it?"
