According to NPR, During an interview, Prince Charles said “Transylvania is in my blood. The genealogy shows that I’m descended from Vlad the Impaler, you see.” And according to CBS, “The link, it appears, is his great-grandmother, Mary of Teck, who was grandmother to Britain’s current ruler, Queen Elizabeth II, and was queen during the reign of King George V. A Wurttemberg princess, Mary – the woman for whom the liner Queen Mary was named – was believed descended from two of Vlad’s sons.”

According to History, during the 1400s, Vlad III – commonly known as Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Dracula – was the Prince of Wallachia (modern-day Romania). His dad adopted the last name of Dracul meaning dragon, which is why Vlad’s last name became Dracula (son of the dragon). According to NBC.
