An Australian man who previously went viral for claiming to be the long lost love-child of King Charles and Queen Camilla has this week released another shocking statement, including Prince Harry in the matter.
Speaking in a new interview with Australia’s Channel Seven, Simon Dorante-Day discussed the 'bond' that he and supposed-sibling Harry share, in both being 'the black sheep of the Royal Family'.
For those in need of a reminder, 58-year-old Dorante-Day first hit headlines last year after sharing 'proof' of his monarchical heritage.

Not only does he believe the fact that he was born in England in 1966 and placed up for adoption - four years before Charles and Camilla were allegedly first linked in public - but he says his adoptive grandma broke the news to him on her deathbed.
According to Dorante-Day's claim, his late grandmother was a former employee of Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who told him in her last breath that The King and Camilla had secretly welcomed him when they were 17 and 18 years old.
The Australian has since set up a Facebook account, wholly dedicated to reconnecting him with his regal 'birth parents', and regularly shares selfies, professing a resemblance to The King and Queen.
Neither Charles nor Camilla have ever addressed Dorante-Day's claims in public.
This hasn't stopped him from speaking to press about his allegedly estranged family, however, and this week, he turned his attention towards Harry, believing he and the 40-year-old have much in common.
"I believe Harry would be receptive to my plight," he told Channel Seven viewers, as per The News.
"He has a bone to pick with Charles. Just like I do."
Whilst he didn't delve any deeper on the allegation, it seems as though Dorante-Day is referencing father-of-two Harry's 2020 resignment from his official royal duties, and move from the UK to California.
In his own biographical work, Spare, Harry discussed the institution's notorious 'never complain, never explain' mantra - and even touched on the long-standing rumours that he himself is the secret love-child of mother, Princess Diana and riding instructor James Hewitt.
Someone he failed to mention, however, is his reported 'half-brother', Dorante-Day, who also spoke this week about Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, claiming he wanted to 'hug' the Duchess, 43.
Discussing the maltreatment Meghan faced from the British tabloid press and (allegedly) some members of the monarchy, the Aussie local explained of Harry: "When people say he looks very nervous and jumpy, I understand where Harry is coming from with that.
"I can tell that he’s worried about someone attacking Meghan and saying something that will force her to react.
"My wife is the same, so I can relate."
He continued: "Harry is to let her go, to let Meghan say what she wants to say. People have been racist and insensitive to Meghan, she should give it back to critics without people looking down on her.
"People are so ignorant.”
