"And they call themselves the Ruling Class"
Prince Charles Says He’s Related to Dracula
“The genealogy shows that I am descended from Vlad the Impaler,”
Charles said. Vlad the Impaler was also known as Dracula, which means
son of the dragon (dracul) in the Romanian dialect of the time. Vlad’s
father was a member of the Order of the Dragon. Vlad, 15th-Century
Romanian warlord, also inspired the 1897 novel “Dracula” by Bram Stoker.
The heir to the British throne was making the connection during an
interview that will air as part of an upcoming TV show to promote the
preservation of forests in Romania’s Transylvania region. “So I have a
bit of a stake in the country,” the prince said. Charles, who owns a
home in the region, has said Transylvania’s pristine landscapes and
rural farming traditions make it a national treasure.
