Blue bloods: Prince Charles joins campaign to save Transylvania’s forests - because of his family connections to ‘Count Dracula’
by Damien Gayle
Prince Charles is campaigning to save the forests of Transylvania, inspired by his ancestral links to Vlad the Impaler, the 15th century nobleman better known by his patronym, Dracula.
Rapid economic growth in Romania - which is now part of the EU - means that the forests of the Carpathian Mountains are under threat from development and logging.
The Prince is calling for the forests, some of the last untouched wilderness areas in Europe, to be protected before they are lost, like the woodland that once covered Britain.

The British monarchy’s real name is Saxe Coburg-Gotha. It was changed to Windsor after WWII to disconnect from German affiliation.
