Just out of curiosity, who were his parents?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Parents were Robert Cameron and Jessie Harrold, who were not married. He was living at 6 Lady Lane, Elgin in the censuses of 1871 and 1881. He also had 2 sons (illegitimate), born in 1881 and 1883, the younger of whom was my partner's grandfather.

I appreciate that the dates, if accurate, do not fit for your Robert Cameron, but they give an idea of how someone could claim allegiance to the President of France and Queen Victoria.

How did your Robert arrive in America?

Sailed from Glasgow on 10th June 1885 aboard the "Waldensian"; arrived Philadelphia on the 26th June. No mention of Queen Victoria, just the President of France.
