Simon Charles Dorante-Day has claimed for years that he is the illegitimate son of Charles and Camila, and has had several requests for a DNA test rejected.
He was adopted when he was about eight months old in August 1966 in Portsmouth, in the UK, when Camilla would have been 18, and Charles 17.
According to official records, the King and Queen didn't meet until five years later, which casts major doubt over Dorante-Day's claims.
During the interview, Dorante-Day said he had 'no doubt' the royals would be watching his interview and left them with a final message: "You know the truth - and you're standing there accepting being named King, knowing the truth."
Now, to reinforce his claim of relation to the King, Dorante-Day has shared a photograph of his daughter Meriam to his over 27,000 followers on social media, claiming that she looks remarkably like Princess Charlotte.
The 58-year-old 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.
He also claims medical procedures were undertaken during his childhood to alter his appearance, including changing his eye colour and filing his teeth.
The royal family has chosen to maintain complete silence regarding Dorante-Day’s allegations.
His followers on Facebook remarked on the similarity between Dorante-Day's daughter Meriam and Princess Charlotte, with one person commenting: "There is just so much resemblance between them, it’s uncanny!"
Another wrote: "There is just so much resemblance between them, it’s uncanny!"
One other person posted: "Very, very much alike."

Dorante-Day's Facebook page contains endless photographs of his face alongside the King's in an attempt to draw a clear likeness, and last year, the Australian broadcaster Seven News aired a short documentary on both Dorante-Day and his wife Elvianna.
