King Charles III And Camilla's 'Secret Son' May Challenge New Monarch To Take DNA Test

The man, who claims to be the son of King Charles III and Camilla, has spoken up following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, revealing his next step in his royal paternity case.

Australia-based Simon Dorante-Dy said he is now more committed than ever to take King Charles to court for DNA testing in order to prove his claim, reports said.

He further stated that he had spoken with senior legal figures to know whether he could take action against the new King. He was informed that Charles' new title would not make any difference legally and he could continue to pursue his case.

"There has been a discussion in there between a judge and myself and his barrister about the legal standing of Charles, and whether the monarch is protected by the law or is above the law," he said. "And the answer to that was no—they told me that we don't see any reason why he is."

"And secondly, Camilla and her family are certainly not above the law. So that argument's already been had and settled," he added. "A lot of people were concerned that when Charles rose to be monarch that it would damage my case. But it's not going to make any difference legally, it's still pressing ahead the same way."

Dorante-Dy said he's determined to go back to the court to submit the evidence he has proving his case. After that, he will apply for a DNA test and "Charles and Camilla will have to answer that."

"It makes no difference to me whether that mountain in front of me is male or female. It makes no difference to me how high that mountain is. I've still got to climb it to prove what I know to be true. So from that regard, nothing has changed," he said.

Dorante-Dy revealed he had written a private letter to Queen Elizabeth earlier this year to request Her Majesty to encourage then-Prince Charles to submit to DNA testing. However, she did not respond to his request, he added.

He expressed disappointment over the passing away of the Queen without granting his request, when "she's been across all this and she's been aware of all this."
