Charles and Camilla lovechild?...

Not strictly an AIBU but I’m oddly fascinated by this story...

There’s something of a resemblance, no? This guy lives in Australia and claims he is Charles and Camillas son. Born when they were teens and sent to live with his grandmother in Australia who had previously worked for the queens household 🤔

Not grandmother, sent to live with a woman who was his ‘adopted’ grandmother. She worked for the queens household some years prior

As if. I'm not buying that for one moment. Wasn't this story around at the weekend?

Hmmmmcurious · 31/01/2020 00:18

I’ve only just discovered it on Twitter. Bizarre isn’t it?!

His jawline is a completely different shape, he misses the pinch at the start of the nose that charles and camilla both have and his chin is pointier. Does he have a bit of a resemblence when he smiles? Yes, but so do a thousand other people. His skull is different though.

NewtonPulsifer · 31/01/2020 00:46

Wasn’t he born years before Charles and Camilla met?

PyongyangKipperbang · 31/01/2020 01:19

I have to say that the smile and the eyes are gave me pause for thought. And the timing would still be in the old school monarchy idea of hiding stuff away.

But ..... no. I think if a baby had been born ("lovechild"?!) then it would have been discreetly adopted through official channels, with the records conveniently no longer available to avoid it being traced back. False names all round and this being when it was supposed to be, the right palms being greased to ensure secrecy.

PyongyangKipperbang · 31/01/2020 01:21

And actually.... if it was post 67 surely an abortion would have been insisted upon? Probably pre 67 tbh.

Not buying it.

Retroflex · 31/01/2020 05:13

Nope... He looks nothing like Charles, face shape, nose, eyes are all completely different, as for Camilla she might have the same beady looking eyes if you squint, but again facial structure, nose etc is all wrong.

Also, he looks nothing like any of their existing children, not even a badic resemblance! And why they always use that photo, which isn't how he looks now is beyond me...

I actually read a comment from someone in Oz who thought this imposter love child should "take his rightful place in line to the throne", so I had to point out that illegitimate "bstrd" children born out of wedlock have absolutely no rights or claim to the throne... And even I (I'm not a royalist) know these basic details...

pollyglot · 31/01/2020 05:46

He's got a face, two eyes, two ears (presumably) and a mouth. Nothing like C & C in any way, except for generic human features.

BillHadersNewWife · 31/01/2020 06:01

Why would he lie though when DNA will tell the truth?

RoseAndRose · 31/01/2020 06:06

As his conception wouid have been several years before any known meeting between C&C, this has to be bollocks.

(The person who though illegitimate child goes into line of succession is probably talking their info from The Windsors!)

Veterinari · 31/01/2020 06:12

Why would he lie though when DNA will tell the truth?
Attention seeking
Delusional
Ideas of grandeur
Mental health issues

Who knows but people confess to murder for attention so this is hardly beyond the realms of possibility

LaurieMarlow · 31/01/2020 06:27

Lol.

I mean, he does look a bit like Camilla (though not Charles) but that’s hardly worthy of note. Lots of people vaguely resemble other people they’re not related to.

lborgia · 31/01/2020 06:32

He has been wittering on about this for YEARS. I'm pretty sure a DNA cover been done at some point in the last 10 years...

Very National Enquirer!!

hidinginthenightgarden · 31/01/2020 06:43

I saw this and laughed. Charlie would have been 18 when this guy was born. Was Camilla even on the scene then?

Marmalady75 · 31/01/2020 06:44

Maybe his “adopted grandmother” has told him this all his life and he genuinely believes it? My grandpa used to tell us all sorts of tall tales.

Lexplorer · 31/01/2020 06:49

Lol! The grandmother could be like Phoebe's in Friends. She had photo of Albert Einstein displayed and told Phoebe it was her dad Grin

ScotsinOz · 31/01/2020 06:49

I read this the other day and thought “I truely hope he is their lovechild” simply because it would be more interesting than reading headlines about Megan Markle (using her marriage to Prince Harry to get bigger acting roles 🤣).

8misskitty8 · 31/01/2020 06:57

Wasn’t there a story a few years ago about there being a sister as well ?

We’ll never know if it is true anyway as the royal family wouldn’t agree to dna tests and making any result public.

longearedbat · 31/01/2020 07:01

Apparently (not that I'm following it or anything; oh no) he has got brown eyes and Camilla and Charles have blue eyes, which they say is impossible. Is it? I don't know about these things.
He is obviously stark staring bonkers, but it's an amusing diversion.

@Lexplorer that was my first thought! There’s probably loads of people who look more like they could be C&C’s ‘love child’ than this guy. He needs to get some proper help, there’s clearly something he needs to resolve and the media/people online/attention won’t help him do that.

Not impossible (accounting for mutations) but unlikely.

KennyRogersWasNotInStarWars · 31/01/2020 07:07

@flouncyfanny the ‘sister’ in that article looks more like Anthea Turner than Diana 🤣
