In a startling turn of events, just hours after the royal family disclosed that the Duke is facing a battle with cancer, a man from Queensland has stepped into the spotlight claiming to be the secret son of the Duke and Camilla.

Simon Duranty-Day, who has dedicated nearly three decades to uncovering his lineage, has drawn considerable media attention with his bold assertions.

He claims that his grandmother, who once served the Queen, often hinted at his royal parentage, suggesting a connection to the upper echelons of British society.

Duranty-Day recently shared his ambitious plan to substantiate his claims through DNA testing.

He expressed his intent to compare his genetic material with that of the Duke, revealing this in an interview with 7news.com.

A source close to him has indicated that the Duke might be open to assisting in gathering the necessary evidence to support Simon’s claims.

This unexpected development has left Simon and his wife, Elvianna, optimistic about their chances of proving his royal lineage.

Elvianna recounted how they were advised by a reliable contact to reach out to the Duke directly.

“When he suggested it, I was taken aback,” Simon admitted, “but I’m determined to pursue this.” His frustration with the royal family’s treatment of the Sussexes has fueled his desire to connect with the Duke.

He described the social media backlash against Meghan and Harry as an “outrageous” spectacle, likening it to a relentless attack.

Simon believes that the Duke might share his desire to expose the injustices surrounding their lives.

“I feel like he might want to reveal the truth about what the monarchy has done to me,” he said, stressing that none of the royals, including the King and Camilla, have ever outright denied his claims.

The silence from Buckingham Palace has only intensified his resolve, as he feels there’s an unspoken acknowledgment of his assertions.

With the wheels in motion towards contacting the Duke, Simon expressed hope for a constructive outcome.

“I’m looking for clarity,” he stated emphatically.

He sees the Duke as a potential ally in unraveling the truth about his origins.

The timing of these revelations is poignant, coming just before news broke of the King’s undisclosed cancer diagnosis.

Reflecting on the day’s events, Simon shared that he and Elvianna spent the morning absorbing the news.

“My genuine wish is for him to recover swiftly,” he noted, adding that he would prefer a candid conversation over a DNA test to validate his lineage.

His concern for the Duke’s health is palpable, as he mentioned his connections within various medicinal fields—traditional, alternative, and Western—expressing willingness to help if needed.

“I’ve seen firsthand how effective these treatments can be,” Simon remarked, suggesting that he would have opted for these methods rather than conventional chemotherapy.

He voiced a desire to be a supportive figure for the Duke should he choose to seek assistance post-recovery.

“I’m ready to relocate to the UK and lend a hand,” he stated, emphasizing that his door is always open.

However, Simon insists that before any collaboration can occur, the Duke must acknowledge the truth of his claims.

“He needs to come forward first,” Simon asserted, highlighting the importance of transparency in their potential relationship.
