CAMILLA’S SECRET SON

SHOCK NEW ALLEGATION­S HAVE EMERGED

-

In an explosive new interview, Prince Charles and Camilla’s secret Australian son Simon Dorante-day has made further shocking claims that will no doubt rock the royal household.

According to Simon – who has long alleged that he is the product of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall’s affair, which began in the 1960s – his identity would have been revealed 22 years ago if it weren’t for Princess Diana’s untimely death on Aug. 31, 1997.

“We believe that Diana knew of my existence and that she had put the pieces together,” Simon exclusivel­y tells New Idea.

In fact, now based in Queensland, Simon, 52, believes the late princess, who was killed in a car accident in Paris, was planning to go public with the informatio­n before she died.

“At the time, there were all sorts of rumours flying around about the royal family, and my existence was one of them,” Simon continues.

“I think Diana was at a point where she was finding out answers about her life, how she was wronged, and she was going to go public with it.”

Simon, who was born on Apr. 5, 1966, has long alleged that he has evidence to back up his claims he is the son of Charles and Camilla, including his original birth certificat­e, which appears to list fake names for his biological parents.

According to the father-ofnine, Camilla fell pregnant in 1965 but kept it a secret. He was born in Gosport, near Portsmouth, England, and was adopted by local couple Karen and David Day at 18 months old. His adoptive grandparen­ts, Winifred and Ernest, worked for the Queen and Prince Philip in one of their households, with Ernest receiving an Imperial Service Award for his work.

“I was very close to my grandmothe­r and she told me many times that I was Camilla and Charles’ child,’ Simon says. ‘She didn’t just hint at it, she told me outright.’

Meanwhile, Simon says a photo of him as a teenager is further proof that he is the

Queen’s illegitima­te grandson, because it shows his uncanny resemblanc­e to his “biological parents” their Royal Highnesses.

“Someone had commented on my facial bone structure being the same as Her Maj,” Simon shared on Facebook. “The Camilla-style hair doesn’t miss.”

And it seems others can also see the similariti­es between Simon and his so-called halfbrothe­rs, including Tom Parker Bowles and Prince William.

“William looked a bit like you at this age,” his friend Lucy Banksia wrote.

Speaking to New Idea, Simon’s wife Elvianna has no doubt her husband is of royal blood.

“We believe the royals kept Simon until he was 18 months old,” she spills. “And Diana knew … she was going to go public.”

Diana was just 19 when she married Prince Charles in 1981 in front of 2500 guests, including Camilla. Just last week, British journalist and author Yasmin Alibhai-brown claimed that the marriage was in fact “arranged” by Charles and his then rumoured lover Camilla to provide the Prince of Wales with heirs to the throne.

“There was this child, a damaged young girl. They plotted, like Dangerous Liaisons, together,” Yasmin told radio host Jeremy Vine. “They plotted to bring her in as his wife so she could breed and then they carried on. For me, she was a young child. It was the worst kind of arranged marriage imaginable.

“Apparently, Camilla approved of Diana. How can that be acceptable, in any woman, that you do this? You manipulate and entrap – they didn’t have to do that. They could have married.”

A year later, in 1982, Diana gave birth to her and Prince Charles’ eldest son, William. Simon would have been 16.

“One of Diana’s secret fears would’ve been that there was a love child,” Simon adds. “Knowing that your son wasn’t the first one, it all makes sense.”

Diana and Charles divorced on Jul. 29, 1996, and she began a relationsh­ip with Egyptian billionair­e Dodi Al Fayed 12 months later.

In hoping the truth will always prevail, Simon says he went as far as to write to Dodi – who also died in the same tragic car crash – to explain his story to him.

“I told him who I was, but no response.”
