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?

Is this the guy who claims that the RF forcibly changed his eye colour too?

Im not.

Did you want to actually add anything of intelligence to the conversation?

I could comment on this post. But there's really no need.

It's highly unlikely. Around the time he would have been conceived, Charles was at boarding school in Scotland and Camilla was in london.

Is he hoping for a place in the House of Lords?

Is he hoping for a place in the House of Lords?

Is he planning a generous party donation?
Connections to royality, especially in fantasy, wouldn't guarantee a seat in the Lords!

Mental health is no joke even though the story does sound amusing

Surely mental health is a good thing? Do you mean mental illness?

Needanewname42 · 19/10/2024 07:01

I think the guy has a screw loose.
None of it makes sense and he must have a Birth Certificate as well as an Adoption Certificate.

Who is his birth mother?

OK if you want a more recent example of Camilla being nasty and manipulative.

Prince Harry said that Camilla leaked private stories about him to he press

Harry needs to look at home to see who was and still leaking to the press

What do you mean who else other than PH describes Camilla as not nice. She was hugely unpopular.

Do you not remember how unpopular she was with the public.

Edited

People hated Camilla as they loved Diana.

Diana herself was far from perfect.

To clarify I didn't mean "lighthearted" in my post to mean that it's funny or humorous

I meant that this Is lighthearted in that i saw it on the news, it's just a topic for discussion, dont seriously believe it, i just wat to discuss it,royal fans don't attack me. Some of the royalists can get very aggressive.

I wasn't aggressive. I didn't follow your train of thought.

My dad is Morph and my mam is either Liza Tarbuck, Jo Brand or Daisy May Cooper. She might have been an emu.

I forget. I’m 93.

We can all state whatever we like. Doesn’t make it true.

And it doesn’t stop folk believing pish. Bless them.

Morph? Don’t believe you - I need to see a photo WinkGrin

I’ve been following him for awhile. He certainly does have a strong resemblance to both Charles and Camilla. He often posts comparison photos of himself at certain ages with different royals. He looks remarkably like prince philip too. His daughter is the spitting image of charlotte.

it does seem plausible. Apparently his grandparents worked at Buckingham palace and he was born when Charles was sent to Australia for a few months and apparently Camilla disappeared from public eye for several months.

who knows though?

My goodness, he actually does look like them! Particularly if you look at the photos of him as teen/young man. His daughter also has a strong resemblance to Charlotte, that’s true.

TheKoalaWhoCould · 19/10/2024 07:26

This man is clearly unwell, and he announced he was going to get a dna test done to prove he could possibly be a member of the British RF then went very quiet so I suspect he found his biological family on 23 and me or similar and they are very much not royals….?

I have actually met Camilla a few times through volunteering I used to do, and she was very nice - a very dry sense of humour and happy to get her hands dirty.

MayaKovskaya · 19/10/2024 07:36

He is clearly unwell, and it's a shame that others would exploit this because they dislike Camilla and have a negative agenda. It all seems very silly.

Jc2001 · 19/10/2024 07:38

Applemayjune · 18/10/2024 22:25

In that I don't definitely think it's true. As I would definitely get called a loon if I said that. So I wanted to clarify

It's just an interesting news story to discuss

But why perpetuate these kind of rumours with threads like this? This is really the shitty side of social media.

Doford · 19/10/2024 07:39

Apparently his (adoptive) grandmother worked for the queen. He was born in the UK, adopted and then taken to Australia, and this information is factually correct.

His parents refused to get information about his biological parents for him.

He says that when his grandmother was dying she told him the truth and said that she helped arrange the adoption. He looked very like the people he thinks are his parents, when he was at a similar age. He still looks like a rougher version of them now. His children look very similar to their “cousins”. If his grandmother told him that, I can understand why he believes it could be true! And he has been begging for a DNA test for years.

Apparently the archbishop of Canterbury said that Charles and camilla met when they were teenagers.

So that was before when most people thought they met

Of course they met earlier than claimed. They all moved in the same circles

I don’t think anyone is perfect but she did the best with what she had. Imagine having power and influence and using it for good? Very rare thing to happen.

Oh professionally yes, but she was hardly whiter than white how she conducted herself in her personal life. I think she got put on a pedestal and anybody that interfered with that was automatically detested, hence the dislike for Camilla.

You don't know when they met. Plus - which Archbishop of Canterbury? Why is he discussing Charles and Camilla? It's all very odd.

Do I recall a similar storyline about Vera Duckworth in Coronation Street? Yup. Something more original please OP.

Yes. Vera was definitely related to royalty. It's a similar story here and just as plausible!

🙄 I didn't mention the A of C
I just said they must have met earlier as they all moved in the same circles 🙄

Danny Dyer goes all the way back to King Edward 111 and even, iirc William the Conqueror !
