People seemed to believe this theory because according to the genealogy records, Prince Charles might have descended from Vlad the Impaler who was the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The Prince even appeared in Romania’s National Tourist Office Ad where he claimed that “Transylvania is in my blood” and joked about being the descendant of Vlad The Impaler, which sparked even more conspiracies. Later, in 2017, the Prince was offered the title of ‘Prince of Transylvania’ because of his links to the region and promotion of Transylvania as a tourist destination. All of these facts make many people believe that the Prince might actually be a vampire. What makes matters worse is the condition called Porphyria, common amongst royals, which is caused by iron-deficiency and makes a person’s skin sensitive to daylight. However, there is no proof that Prince Charles has Porphyria.
