A man claiming to be the âsecret sonâ of King Charles and Queen Camilla has shared a photo of his daughter, who people are saying looks just like Princess Charlotte.
Simon Charles Dorante-Day, who lives in Australia, has gained media attention with his viral story â heâs convinced heâs the secret love child of the royal couple.
He was born in England in 1966 and was adopted by a family at a young age, and now heâs on a mission to prove his heritage.
To spread his message, Dorante-Day has shared an âuncannyâ photo of his daughter beside the granddaughter of King Charles.
Dorante-Day has previously asserted that his adoptive grandmother, reportedly a former employee of the late Queen Elizabeth II, disclosed on her deathbed that he was the offspring of the royal couple, according to MailOnline.
At the time of his birth, King Charles and Queen Camilla would have been 17 and 18 years old, respectively.
The 57-year-oldâs claims are at odds with official records, as they state the king and queen met each other five years later.
The royal family has chosen to maintain complete silence regarding Dorante-Dayâs allegations.
Dorante-Day has many supporters through his Facebook page, where he often shares updates and photos.
His claims appear to have convinced some of his followers, with one person commenting: âI believe you, Iâve believed you for years.â
A second insists: âHe looks identical.â
âYou so look like both of them, I hope you get answers soon,â another writes.
Somebody else says: âThe resemblance is outstanding. You would make a beautiful king.â
As itâs been reported the King may visit Australia later this year, it appears Dorante-Day is ramping up his campaign.
He says the royal visit presents an ideal occasion for him to initiate legal action, compelling King Charles and Queen Camilla to undergo a paternity test.
The 57-year-old and his wife are reportedly laying the groundwork for their forthcoming court battle.
But Dorante-Day is keeping quiet about the specifics of this new legal challenge.
He tells 7News: âWhat [legal action] am I going to do this time? Well, Iâd be a very silly person that when he comes into the same jurisdiction as me not to do something.
âBut I think Iâd be even sillier to let that cat out of the bag right now.â
He adds: âWeâre hammering in the background.â
Until that day arrives, Dorante-Day will continue to share comparison photos and convince others of his claims.
Recently, he uploaded an image of his daughter, Meriam, who he believes resembles Princess Charlotte, Prince Williamâs daughter.
One person writes: âUncanny. Truly.â
Another adds: âVery, very much alike.â
âThey are like sisters,â insists a third follower.
In agreement, a fourth comments: âThere is just so much resemblance between them, itâs uncanny!â
People have taken to social media and paid tribute to the TikTok star, with one fan penning: âRest easy Dr Kim. You truly were a light here.â
Another adds: âRest now Dr Kim, thank you for all your videos, we learned a lot. Strength to your hubby and all your loved ones.â
Somebody else writes: âI have never cried over a social media personality before but here I am. Thank you for all the work you have done here, Kim.â
Nixâs social media accounts were dedicated to sharing her journey and aimed to inspire others to live life, in spite of its obstacles.
The TikToker previously told People: âI only have one thing in my life that is tough or hard right now. Yes, it is serious, but, just one thing.
âLife is so much more. Itâs friends, family, pets, your career, the perfect temperature first sip of tea, the beautiful snow-tipped mountains.â
Nix was diagnosed with metastatic sarcoma when she was 28 years old.
Soft tissue sarcoma becomes metastatic if it spreads to other areas of the body, away from the location of the original tumour, according to Medical News Today.
People magazine reports that Nix specifically had undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, which typically occurs in the legs, arms, or back of the abdomen.
âIn 2023, an estimated 13,400 people (7,400 men and boys and 6,000 women and girls) in the United States will be diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma,â reports Cancer.net.
âIt is estimated that 5,140 deaths (2,720 men and boys and 2,420 women and girls) from this disease will occur in the United States in 2023.â
Nix wanted to raise awareness of sarcoma symptoms â with the TikToker having one of the most common.
She had a ârapidly growingâ lump in her left leg and it went from pea-sized to golf ball-sized within just a week.
Sadly, it has now been announced that the TikTok star has passed away.
Nix posted one last video to her account, which has reached over six million people at the time of writing.
While applying her makeup in the video, Nix reminisces about her happiest moments, such as attending Taylor Swiftâs Eras Tour.
In the video, Nix says: âHello followers, if youâre seeing this message I have passed away peacefully.
âFor those of you who donât know me, my name is Kim, hi! Itâs so nice to meet you and youâre welcome to check out all the cool sarcoma facts, information and my lived experience with death and dying with sarcoma cancer. You donât have to go just because youâre new.â
She continues: âI love you all, thank you so much for this amazing opportunity. Iâm in happy tears because youâve all made me find so much purpose at the end of my life.â
The videoâs caption reads: âMy journey here is over and I canât thank each and every one of you enough! You have all made me so happy and your comments and support are more than enough to have gotten anyone through anything!
âIf you wish, please donate through the link in my bio to sarcoma cancer research and follow my husband in his updates.â
You can donate to the Sarcoma Alliance, a charity dedicated to âimproving the lives of people affected by sarcoma through accurate diagnosis, improved access to care, guidance, education, and supportâ according to its website, here.

KhloĂŠ Kardashianâs Ex Took Three Paternity Tests Over Concerns Her Brother Was Babyâs Real Father
KhloĂŠ Kardashian has revealed that Tristan Thompson took three paternity tests over concerns their son was actually Rob Kardashianâs.Â
The Good American owner, 39, has a pretty complicated relationship when it comes to her ex â they had a whirlwind romance and thereâs been cheating scandals.
KhloĂŠ and Tristan welcomed daughter True Thompson in 2018 but the huge occasion was overshadowed.
Just before their daughterâs birth, videos of the NBA player appeared in TMZ and Daily Mail showing him with another woman.
A month later, People magazine reported a source saying: âKhloĂŠ seems happy. She loves being a mom. Sheâs focused on keeping her family together.
âShe seems OK with Tristan â thereâs no talk of a split.â
However, their babymoon bliss would be shortlived â in 2019, TMZ reported the pair had split over allegations Tristan had kissed Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jennerâs best friend at the time.
After the news broke, the sportsman wrote in a now-deleted tweet (via Evening Standard): âFAKE NEWS.â
Woods appeared on Red Table Talk addressing the alleged kiss, claiming: âBut, on the way out [of Tristanâs house] he did kiss me. No passion, no nothing. On the way out he just kissed me. It was a kiss on the lips. No tongue kiss, no making out. Nothing. I donât think heâs wrong either, because I allowed myself to be in this position.â
She continued: âI didnât know how to feel. I was like, âThat didnât just happenâ, because I was leaving already so I walked out immediately after. And I got in the car and was like, âNo, that didnât happenâ, I [told him] I need to go. I was in shock.â
In 2020, KhloĂŠ and Tristan ended up spending the Covid lockdown together.
That summer, Tristan took to Instagram and celebrated KhloĂŠâs birthday with a snap of him, The Kardashians star and their daughter.
âIâm wise enough now to know, you came into my life to show me just what it means to be an incredible person,â he penned.
âI appreciate how I am able to learn from and grow because of you. I thank God for the beautiful and loving woman you are to everyone, especially our daughter True. You deserve the world Koko!
âTrue and I love you mama. Happy Birthday @khloekardashian.â
In the following year, the pair would go Instagram official once again.
KhloĂŠ wrote in a birthday post to Tristan: âThe ones that are meant to be are the ones who go through everything that is designed to tear them apart and they come out even stronger than they were before.
âThank you for showing me everything you said you would. For the father you are. For the best friend I have in you. Iâm thankful that I can do absolutely nothing with you and it feels like everything. I hope you know today and every day how loved you are by me and so many.
âHappy birthday TT! Welcome to 30! I canât wait for all of the memories. This is when life just starts getting good.â
But just months later, there would be further scandalsâŚ
A source told Daily Mail that Tristan went to a party and âtook off into one of the party rooms where everyone goes to hook upâ.
âHe was with three women and another guy. One of the girls he was with is a regular partier â she [is] always out and about at parties,â they alleged.
A source of E! News would say KhloĂŠ had âlost all of her trustâ in Tristan and that âthe relationship could not be repairedâ.
By the end of 2021, a woman named Maralee Nichols came forward and said the NBA player was the father of her child â the baby was allegedly conceived while KhloĂŠ and Tristan were still together, per People.
Shortly after, Tristan took to his Instagram stories and shared a heartfelt apology to KhloĂŠ that read: âToday, paternity test results reveal I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son.
âI sincerely apologise for everyone Iâve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.
âKhloĂŠ, you donât deserve this. You donât deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You donât deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you. I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.â
Despite this, months later it would be revealed KhloĂŠ and Tristan were welcoming a second child.
A rep told People: âWe can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November. KhloĂŠ is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing.
âWeâd like to ask for kindness and privacy so that KhloĂŠ can focus on her family.â
In 2022, KhloĂŠ and Tristan welcomed their second child together via surrogate. It would later be revealed that his name is Tatum.
She would eventually admit that her connection with her son didnât form as easily as it did with True.
On The Kardashians, she told her mum, Kris Jenner: âCompare it to True and him, itâs a different experience.
âThe connection⌠took days with True. With him, itâs taking months and we still donât have a complete bond.â
During an appearance on the SHE MD podcast, KhloĂŠ shared (via Mirror): âI am obsessed with Tatum now, of course.â
But elsewhere in the interview, she also revealed that Tristan took three paternity tests.
KhloĂŠ explained: âI made Tristan do three DNA tests for Tatum. He was so offended.â
The reality TV star said she had noticed that her son looks a lot like her brother Rob Kardashian and she found it âfreaking weirdâ.
She continued: âMy son looks just like my brother.
âBecause he was an IVF baby or a surrogate baby, I was like, âRob, have you ever donated s**** somewhere?’â
KhloĂŠ would then joke: âIn this family, that would not surprise me, but that would be so disgusting.
âBut I remember she [her doctor] was like, âYouâve already done a DNA test!â. I go, âI need to do another one, I need to figure it outâ.â
