To think Simon adorable-Day looks nothing like the royal family at all!

Just that really - he claims he is a son of Charles and Camilla and was adopted out.

I genuinely cannot see any likeness there at all. All members of descendants of the queen have a very ‘strong’ look, you can see they are all related, right down to the great grandchildren.

I don’t see a single bit of likeness with him at all.

Google image his name - photos of him as a teenager (I presume its him) look very much like Camilla I think.
Im still dubious though

Has he had a hard life? He looks older than she does.

I was thinking that he looked their age and was shocked to see he's only 10 years older than me.

I love a conspiracy theory but sadly don’t believe this one

I'd put that down to the sun. The photo of his son looking like the queen is bonkers and makes his story seem less believable. Even if he could be said to look a bit like Camilla, which I'm sure applies to loads of people, I can see no resemblance to Charles

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel

He lives in Australia and possibly isn't as on the ball with the sun screen as he should be, that's very ageing.

I think he looks not dissimilar to Camilla but so would a lot of people. I have no idea why he would be making the claim even if he genuinely believed it was true. Charles and Camilla are never going to submit to a DNA test, or even respond to his claims in any way. The King of Belgium resisted a DNA test for over a decade while his daughter pushed it through the courts, and there was good reason to believe that he might be her father because he'd had a long affair with her mother.

I would imagine that there is a record somewhere of this guy's birth mother (and possibly birth father too) and it's not Camilla, so there's nothing to bring a court case with to force a DNA test. Plus an adoptive child is legally the child of his adoptive parent, he is no longer the child of his birth parents in law and so couldn't claim anything from them (like a title or inheritance) so what's the point of even bringing the subject up?

Gladimnotcampinginthisweather · 28/04/2021 09:47

Even more photos today.

JackieLavertysWeirdVoice · 28/04/2021 09:51

I thought this was about Dave Angel as well.

Did you know that Simon Day did Boy George (so to speak) in Celebrity Stars in their Eyes?

Deadringer · 28/04/2021 09:56

I think he has very generic features, he looks like a few people i know. I agree that the queens descendants all share a look, and he doesn't have it. Perhaps he is Camilla's son, but definitely not Charles' imo.

andtheweedonkey · 28/04/2021 09:58

This guy needs psychiatric help, frankly.

He looks nothing like Charles or Camilla.

jay55 · 28/04/2021 10:09

Sounds like he was told a story as a kid to make him feel better about being adopted and he can't let it go.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 28/04/2021 10:45

He needs psychiatric help, not a DNA test. He’s been peddling this story for years and no one believes it but him.

Even if it did turn out they were his birth parents, it makes zero difference to the line of succession. He was illegitimate, even if his parents are now married; therefore ineligible for the throne.

Thatisnotwhatisaid · 28/04/2021 10:52

He needs help.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 28/04/2021 10:55

I have followed this guy on Facebook for years he is utterly bonkers and so are his 'fans' Grin

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 28/04/2021 10:56

@jay55

Sounds like he was told a story as a kid to make him feel better about being adopted and he can't let it go.
Or he made up the story himself and claimed his adoptive parents told him things but we only have his word for it they did.

This man is clearly not well and this thread should be deleted.

bellropes · 28/04/2021 11:25

He looks a bit like Camilla, but she doesn't have any strong, distinctive features. He doesn't look like any of the other RF.

MrsGulDukat · 28/04/2021 11:41

Surely if Charles knocked up Camilla when they were teens, the Queen would've got them married off pretty sharply.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 28/04/2021 12:07

@UhtredRagnarson

I don’t see why the thread should be deleted. This is a public domain story that’s been around for years.
Gladimnotcampinginthisweather · 28/04/2021 12:33

Lots of people have Doppelgangers, but it doesn't mean they are related.
Think of all the people who have made money impersonating famous figures.
Unfortunately for him the Royal family are highly unlikely to submit to DNA testing so he will live the rest of his life wondering.

AdobeWanKenobi · 28/04/2021 13:05

This guy was born in 1965 so it's impressive considering Charles and Camilla allegedly met at a polo match in 1970.

dancemusicsexromance · 28/04/2021 13:51

I've followed him for a long time.
I think he's not even entertaining the possibility of that fact he may NOT be C & Cs son.

A few times he's been asked what would he do if it was proved he wasn't?
He doesn't answer - he completely changes the subject or comments on something else.

The way his "fans" call the royals "his family" or "I'm sorry for the loss of your granddad............it's uncomfortable
I just am baffled how his family/fans unwaveringly believe this.
He comes across strange on camera and I think he's comfortable with how things are currently, I don't think he wants to know I really don't. He likes the speculation.

Imo he's quite aggressive in his contact with people on his Facebook page when people don't agree with him.

Plus, his wife never must speak to him in real life - it seems all of their communication goes through F/Book.

I've also read up quite a lot and I don't think C & C had even met at the point of his conception.

If he was........just say, their child why would that give him the right to prove this through the courts? Surely if he's adopted then all parental rights were relinquished?

Gladimnotcampinginthisweather · 28/04/2021 14:31

I am not sure why the Australian media give him so much attention. The comments under the items on Facebook are rarely supportive.
