King Charles, Camilla 'love child' wants 'answers' as William becomes Prince of Wales

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla's alleged child says he wants his 'happy ending.'

Simon Dorante-Day is demanding his alleged birth-right as Prince William has been given the title of 'Prince of Wales.'

The 53-year-old, who claims that he is the illegitimate child of Charles and Camilla, wants his DNA tested to prove his truth to the world. With the Queen's eldest son becoming the monarch, Donate-Day is demanding his share to the throne.

I had no idea that K.C. and camilla had carried on for so long. I guess this is what happens when you marry for duty, not for love.

Glad Harry made a different choice for his life

I didn't really pay much attention to the English royal family. I knew Princess Anne liked horses, knew Lord Mountbatten and 3 others died in a bomb blast on their boat, knew about K.C. and Diana's stormy marriage.

QEII reminded me of my grandmother but even so, I didn't pay much attention.

If K.C. and camilla really have a love child who is 55, they had to have been together while he was dating her sister Sarah. Hmmmm

7. Doesn't this sort of thing usually end of up in a duel?

The main problem with that is it would entail another of these royal funerals.

10. Who does he think he is? William the Conqueror?

He might get some title, or a name (FitzWindsor?) but since he was not the "issue" of a legitimized marriage, he's nowhere in the line of succession. Primogeniture only applies to a legitimate first-born son or daughter.

Also, is there any other instance in history where the heir to a throne married a former mistress and then became king? I can't think of one.

14. Indeed, he wouldn't be in the line of succession

Although subsequent marriage of parents does generally legitimize a child born out of wedlock, this does not apply if one or both of their parents was married to someone else.

Not the same thing, but King William IV had ten children by the same woman, Dorothea Jordan. But because she was an actress and not sufficiently aristocratic, they could not marry, and his eventual marriage to Adelaide produced no children. So he died 'without issue', leaving the throne to his niece Victoria, and none of his descendants ever ruled Britain. Well, one of them did in a way: it was David Cameron!
