“It’s time for the world to read this”: Simon Dorante-Day shares last letter to the Queen
Simon Dorante-Day, the Queensland man who claims he is the secret son of King Charles III and Camilla, has shared the final piece of correspondence he sent to Queen Elizabeth II.
The 56-year-old took to social media on Australia’s National Day of Mourning with a full version of the letter he sent to the late monarch last November.
In it, he explains that he wrote to the Queen after approaching Dr Jeanette Young, Queensland’s Governor General, about his case.
“I take the liberty of approaching you via the Governor’s Office however, given the position with which my family and I find ourselves, we feel this action is justified,” he writes.
He then details medical procedures he claims were performed on him as a child, including changing his eye colour from blue to brown when he was eight and filing two of his teeth at age 15.
“These actions I believe were undertaken to conceal my true identity,” he continues.
“Furthermore, over the years of residing with the Day family, my adopted grandparents Winifred and Earnest Bowlden often spoke about the time they worked for the Royal household.
“Then on my last visit to the United Kingdom in 1998, my adopted grandmother Winifred told me herself, that my birth parents were your son Charles and his wife Camilla.”

After detailing his claims, Dorante-Day appeals for help from the Queen with his case.
“It would be naive of me to think you are not aware of my claims. Nor that you have not been following events to date,” he writes.
“Subsequently, you will all be aware of the actions I have recently commenced and the level of attention this has already received.
“I am writing on behalf of my family and I to ask for your assistance in coming forward and resolving this issue and stopping this global assault.
“May God give you the strength to come forward.”
Speaking to 7News, Dorante-Day said it was finally time for the world to see the contents of the letter.
“I think it’s time - it’s time for the world to read this,” the father-of-nine said.
“I’ve kept the contents of the letter confidential until now, but with her passing I think it’s appropriate to share my last correspondence with her.
“When she passed away, I was disappointed that she had died without responding to my message. That was my first thing - just sad, because that window of opportunity has closed.”
He added that he is looking forward to taking up his case directly with Charles.
“It makes no difference to me whether that mountain in front of me is male or female. It makes no difference to me how high that mountain is,” he said.
“I’ve still got to climb it to prove what I know to be true. So from that regard, nothing has changed.”
Along with the letter, Dorante-Day also shared a message to the Queen from his wife, Dr Elvianna Dorante-Day, including a “special thank you” for existing.
“You and I knew we came from warring backgrounds, but we both loved something in common, your grandson Simon Charles, your first-born grandchild,” her message read.
“In loving him as much as we do, we had to put our differences aside and pursue peace, not only for you and I but for the whole of humanity.
No-one understood the path we walked together on this planet, and our work isn’t over, as you and I know.
“Through your grandchild Simon Charles and his children your legacy lives on in them.”
