Prince Charles's alleged lovechild

[Applemayjune]

Did you see the story in the news that a man in Australia has said that he is Prince Charles 's and Camilla's lovechild. Apparently security are watching him as he said that he is going to try to go and see them

This is lighthearted, so don't come at me. It's just in the news today, and was wondering what are your thoughts?

Long live the British class system eh?

Such a weird story. I've no idea why people would believe him.

I don’t want to sound like I am sure he is their son. I am more sure that he is not. But it would be so easy to disprove and they don’t. I have a healthy distrust in the royals that is probably evident.

And I have a healthy distrust of tales of seals singing when it was clearly something like this specimen but here we are.

But it would be so easy to disprove and they don’t

But why would they want to disprove it. I couldn't care less if some bloke was saying I was his mother. If you know you haven't had a baby then what is there to disprove?

There is no way he would just go away if there was a DNA test.

It would be easy for him to have a DNA test with the woman who says she is his biological sister but he won't do that.

Long live the British class system eh?

Au contraire.

Nothing to do with the class system and everything to do with class.

I can't abide any of the royals, and tampongate was a particularly low point thanks to Charles and Camilla in particular, but I do think that when you look at that famous photo of them at a polo match together you can see that there was a genuine ease and, dare I say it, chemistry between them. I think it's a shame that that had to be sacrificed because of the arcane rules and traditions about who Charles could marry, especially given that all of those have been ridden over roughshod since anyway. It would have been better for Diana not to have been inducted into the madhouse too.

I think it would be great if the Aussie guy is their child - all sorts of comedic potential. The royal family is well on the way to obsolescence imo but I fear it won't actually be abolished in my lifetime. People like him give me hope.

Totally.

Seems very over the top nasty? Why is that? Difference of opinion hurting you?

people like him give me hope
Rather than formulating a clear and logical argument which challenges an hereditary monarchy?
You think this kind of case is better?
Ok.

Why wait for him to be declared their child for comedic potential?

They should just read some posts here.

Would you care to elaborate?

I haven’t been nasty or over the top.

I appreciate different opinions.

Why have you resorted to accusations?

He's obviously not a mentally well person and be seems to be fixated on this delusion. He is best ignored and kept well away from the King. The idea that providing him with a dna test would somehow give him the closure he needs to move on is a fallacy. His delusion is such that he won't accept the inevitable negative result and would only give fuel to the floodgates that would open for every other crackpot with similar delusional claims. His claims should not be given any credence.

I'm glad you don't equate the two!

Oops I was overthinking the mermaid image lol….

You know as much as anyone else not involved, nothing. What if you turn out to be wrong? What if he actually is their illegitimate son?

He’s not, But if he was, he would not be entitled to anything. Even if he hadn’t been adopted.

The False Prince Down Under is an enlightening read into this delusional man.

Seems to pretty comprehensively rebut the ludicrous claims this man is making.

I'm not even sure he's delusional. Seems to me he's just a liar. Not interested in proof of his real family but continuing with his bullshit, knowing full well the royals won't offer to be tested so he can just keep up the ridiculous pretence.

The thing about liars is that they hurt people.

Time. And time. And time again.

They give no thought to their actions impacting on others. Just are intent on airing their truth, just not the truth.

The hurt people like this cause is nothing short of shameful.

It would be far easier to do a small test with his sister. But clearly that does not fit the agenda.

I can't imagine how his real mother must feel. No doubt she expected possible rejection but to see him care more about his little bit of fame and denying her like that must be soul destroying.

Just awful, @CellophaneFlower . He really needs to stop.

It would be so easy if he just took a dna test with his sister as the first step for him. Why won’t he?

Maybe Charles is his half brother and not his father?
There were lots of rumours about Philip in the 60s

And here we are again
