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?

The spit! 😂

😂

Poor H. The surfing lady has obviously worn him out and he has resorted to his normal pick me up…. Dressing up as mummy, (the Nazi uniform must be at the cleaners), smoky medicine and mummy’s special cream all over everything he likes kissed.

It’s the nearest to a crown he’ll get now. Unless he gets a percentage of his own and fills his little wave pool with bronzer.

He can use the special bumpy thing as a float.

What on earth has this got to do with the subject of the thread?

My uncle was given to my Grandfathers girlfriend in 1942, as he said my Grandmother was cheating on him (!) and he (my uncle) has vanished without a trace.

We have been looking for him now we have DNA testing using my heritage, but the man I think it is has passed away

Yes well he was right wasn't he? He knew he wasn't in love with Diana and knew he was marrying her out of duty. he knew exactly what 'love' was, and it wasn't Charles and Diana. I think Diana was wilfully naive thinking she was 'in love' with Charles when she had only met him a few times before the marriage. it was basically an arranged marriage. I'm always surprised that William gave Kate that hideous engagement ring when its a symbol of one of the most misjudged marriages in modern Royal history.

Agreed it was an arranged marriage, marriage of convenience.

He got a bride to give him an heir
She got financial security. Which is why her family encouraged it.

William and the ring, what else was he going to do with it? I guess it's also partly about keeping her memory alive. Because it must be hard hitting life's milestones without your Mum.
He doesn't moan but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel it exactly the same as his brother.

edit - duplicate post

I think C&C were tragic really, they obviously wanted to be together, but RF got in the way.

You shouldn't take 'The Crown' as fact. Camilla didn't want to marry Charles in the 70s because she was in love with Andrew Parker Bowles (APB was regarded as the ultimate catch in his day).

I'd agree, there RF mainly the Queen Mother interfering and getting Charles papped off with the navy for months.
Was really cruel to C&C.

And for what real benefit?

William and the ring, what else was he going to do with it? I guess it's also partly about keeping her memory alive. Because it must be hard hitting life's milestones without your Mum.
I don't know. keep it with all his other jewels? It just seems like an odd memory to keep alive, considering how bad the marriage was, but I suppose if you are the product of that marriage it must be hard to accept.

I want to know more about the rightful heir to the throne.

You mean William??

The chances of C&C having a love child in their mid teens is pretty remote. The whole story is so far fetched.

Illegitimate children can't be heirs to the Thrine. His entire case is based on his grandmother telling him some cock and bull story just before she died. Who knows if she was delirious or fantasising or doped up to the eyeballs on morphine, but he's made an absolute career out of it!

Well she wanted to marry APB and he wanted to sleep around. I think it's more he didn't want to marry Diana than he wanted to marry Camilla ( at the time). He was shagging 2 married women who would alternate their pregnancies so he could shag the non pregnant one! It wasn't really loves young dream thwarted, although I think now they make each other very happy and have grown old together, as maybe they would have done if they married in the first place. I think both the RF and the Spencers were to blame, and thought they were still living in the Court of Henry viii.

It’s bonkers-but also possible. It’s charming that people say it can’t be true because C&C hadn’t met!🤣

The laws allowing legitimation of children whose parents subsequently married specifically excluded inheritance of titles, including the Crown. (Though apparently this is different in Scotland, so if proved he might inherit Charles’ Scottish titles.)
But apparently the law says you must re-register your child if you marry and presumably this has not been done!

Wouldn’t they have been 19 and 21? Hardly mid teens….

Any verifiable 'lovechild' presenting themself now would be in certain danger of having an unfortunate accident. Medieval or not, that's the time the RF live in and the rules they live by.

No…this poster is right. They fell I love, that’s all.

I think that's the last thing they'd want to happen to someone making a claim.
Diana dying young and unexpectedly was incredibly damaging to the RF - dead people don't cock up, they don't fall out of favour with the press and they don't piss people off.

Anyone claiming to be a love child is no real threat anyway - they'll never get a DNA test to totally verify their claim.

And even if they did they wouldn't be entitled to position or title. For that you have to be born to parents who are already married, and in a marriage that the monarch at the time gave permission for.

The Earl of Harewood's two eldest children have no titles and no place in the line of succession because their parents weren't married when they were born. His two younger children have titles and place in the line. Benjamin Lascelles was literally 5 months old when his parents married and still no title, no place in the line.
A random love child found donkeys years later, even if legitimised by marriage, would have no impact. A dead person killed in suspicious circumstances could be another Diana.

Plus any child adopted has no legal ties to their birth parents. Adoption severs that.

Someone up thread thought they'd be 15/16
He was born April 1966, conceived 1965
Charles born 1948

Which means Charles would have been 17 I still doubt that C&C would have had much opportunity at those ages.

Camilla’s a year or so older, isn’t she? As for opportunity, you’ve obviously never been to a posh house party!🤣
