According to the British "Daily Mail" local time on September 28, a man who claimed to be the secret son of King Charles III and Queen Camilla shared the last letter he wrote to Queen Elizabeth II before her death, and said that he had been "kept secret to this day".
The man, Simon Charles Dorante-Day, an engineer living in Queensland, Australia, born in 1966 in England, is a 56-year-old father of nine children who was raised by his adoptive grandparents when he was 8 months old, and the two used to work in a residence between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who Simon said told him on his deathbed that he was the secret child of Charles and Camilla.
1. What Simon wrote in his last letter to the Queen
The letter was sent in November 2021, and Mr Dolante-Dai believes that now is the best time for him to share the content of the letter to the Queen.
In an interview with 7New, Simon said that I have kept the contents of this letter secret until now, and now is the time to share. "I was disappointed when the Queen died, she hadn't replied to my message yet, and I was sad at that time because the window of opportunity had closed."
Prior to contacting the Queen in November, Dolant Day discussed the case with Queensland Governor Dr Janet Young, which he also mentioned in his letter.
In his letter, Simon said, "Your Majesty, as the holidays approach, I hope this letter will leave you in a cheerful and radiant mood.
I took the liberty of contacting you through the governor's office, which I think is reasonable given the current situation I am in with my family. ”
Later, Simon claimed that he underwent medical procedures as a child, such as turning his original blue eyes into brown eyes at age 8 and disposing of two teeth at age 15, all in order to change Ye's appearance (to make him look less like Charles and Camilla's children).
Simon said he could understand, and to some extent, forgive the attempts to destroy traces of his existence—"acts to conceal my true identity," but he could not forget what had happened.
(Simon, Queen)
Simon noted that he had lived with the Dai family who adopted him for many years, and that his adoptive grandfather and mother often referred to their time working for the royal family.
Simon said that when he visited the UK for the last time in 1998 (at the age of 32), his adoptive mother again told him in person, "Your biological parents are Charles and his wife Camilla".
In his letter, Simon said he thought it was "naïve" for the queen not to pay close attention to the matter. He urged the Queen to address the issue, "May God give you the strength to stand up".
2. What Simon has done over the years
For years, Mr Dolante-Day has said he wants members of the royal family to be tested for DNA to prove his genetics, and even earlier he began seeking legal advice after he wrote to the Queen without a "dignified" reply.
Dolante Day also revealed that the "Simon Charles" included in his name was a condition given by King Charles III when he allowed others to adopt him.
On the issue of titles, Dolante Day said in an interview that although he was actually the eldest son of the king and queen, he also knew that it was difficult not to let the king name William "Prince of Wales", otherwise he would not be "punching in the face"? But what Charles could do was give him an answer—to acknowledge his identity. "Take a DNA test and if you're not my father, prove you're not."
Dolante Day said he had discussed Charles's legal status with judges and barristers, and whether the monarch was protected by the law or above the law, and their answer was no.
3. Doubts
Simon was born on 5 April 1966 in Portsmouth, England. He claims that in 1945, 17-year-old Charles and 18-year-old Camilla met at Winston Churchill's funeral, and later had him, Camilla secretly raised him for 8 months, after which the royal family handed him over to the royal staff, Simon's adoptive grandparents.
But this does not match the widely circulated record. The current official record is that in 1970, 22-year-old Charles and 23-year-old Camilla met at a polo match in Windsor Grand Park. Camilla introduced herself in one sentence: "Sir, you know, my great-grandmother was the mistress of your great-great-grandfather. — That's right, it's about King Edward VII and his famous mistress, Alice Keppel.
