He is related to Dracula

King Charles III is a distant relative of Vlad the Impaler - better known as Vlad Dracul in Romania - the 15th century nobleman who became the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s 1897 gothic horror novel ‘Dracula’.

The book spawned one of Hollywood's most iconic movie monsters, most famously brought to life by Bela Lugosi in the 1931 Universal movie.
