King Charles III is Related to Dracula
The ruling class frequently receives comparisons to vampires because of their practice of feeding off those they have power over. In a sense, it was sucking the life out of them. So it seems to reason that some of Prince Charles' detractors, in particular, would be pleased to learn that the Prince is in fact connected to Dracula.
Vlad Tepes, a Romanian prince who lived in the 15th century, is thought to be the inspiration for some of Bram Stoker's famous vampire in real life. According to legend, Vlad's propensity for pinning adversaries to sharp poles earned him the moniker "Impaler." His voracity for blood made him indelibly linked to history's greatest vampire.
In the modern era, Prince Charles is the Romanian Prince's distant relative. 16 times removed, he is the great-grandson of Dracula. Prince Charles, who has a love spot for Transylvania, the region made famous by Dracula, was reportedly thrilled to learn this lineage.
